Gender

[close] For those asking “Why would they say that?” or “How can they think that?”, this is a group where these are not rhetorical questions. We really want to know - whatever your perspective. In this era of social media, I see less of a propensity for critical thinking and learning and more of a drive to shout and turn a deaf ear. We weather socio-economic, racial, religious, political, and other storms with routine frustration and too-often rigorous animosity and slanderous debate. 2020 appears to be one of these storms in our history and developing identity. In this group, we seek to understand. We listen. We think critically and question. Regardless of your position or thoughts on a particular issue, we can all discuss these things through an avenue of books.

All engagement is welcome though, on youtube, on blogs and on goodreads. This is not 'my' bookclub, however, it belongs to all of us. I strongly believe feminism, which means equality of all sexes in society, not to be about the individual but about everyone and to be a group movement. Therefore, I want this bookclub to be a group. We read one book over the course of two months throughout the year. At the end of the first month there will be a pre-scheduled twitter chat on themes relating to that month's book, which will not require you to have finished the book. A video review will then be posted on Jean (bookishthoughts) or Lauren's (readsanddaydreams) channel on youtube. If you also film a youtube review/discussion or write a review/discussion of the book on your blog please share it with us all by posting it in the reviews thread. Please use #feministorchestra on twitter, instagram and elsewhere so we can all share our posts, thoughts, discussion and book reviews Gender equality is at the heart of this book club so please recognise this in your behaviour. We do not exist to convince anyone of this but to discuss the nuances and individual issues presented by the literature we read.
