Here We Are: Feminism for the Real World | 
I‘m so sorry I haven‘t posted for a while, or finished the book, lives been a bit busy and hot! Australia‘s summer time is the worst I swear! But I will be trying to finish that book as soon as I can! :) and I‘ll let you guys know if I enjoyed it. And for now, here‘s a flower I took a picture of a while ago! Pretty.
About to give this book a try. Such an important topic for teens like me.
pickI loved this book! Each of the stories was intriguing and taught me at least one lesson. The diversity of voices is amazing. There was no part or story that was boring or unnecessary. The anthology shows that anyone can be a feminist and the strength that collective feminism can hold.
Been slowly reading this over the past half-hour-ish. It‘s an ARC copy with lotssss of typos, and it‘s always funny to see the in progress bits (one color instead of two color, 000 instead of pages numbers). Really liked the introduction by Malinda Lo! #24in48 #OWLsJuly2019
pickGreat introduction to/confirmation of feminism and the crucial role it plays in our country, our community, our lives. A wonderful collection of intersectional voices, this book talks the talk while walking the walk. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #readharderchallenge #2018 #MountTBR
1st up for the #24b42019 #readathon . Finishing this for the @bookriot #readharder 2018 challenge! @TheReadingMermaid
In between books, I‘ve been reading a few essays out of this one and I‘m thoroughly enjoying them! It‘s perfect for the essay anthology prompt for the @bookriot #readharderchallenge
HERE WE ARE is on sale for $2 as an ebook at all online retailers this week 😍
I‘ve only read 8 books so far this year, but my reading life has honestly never been better. All 8 of the books have been winners!
The Olympics have severely cut into my reading time but I was able to finish Cannibalism by Bill Schutt and more onto Here We Are.
pickFirst one down from my #mounttbr! And #popsugarreadingchallenge2018. Such a great book on #feminism for young readers. I'll need to buy another copy for my niece soon 😁😁
Wrapping up this gem for my teenage daughters. @Kelly
pickI love this. I will recommend it for the foreseeable future. This is one of the most inclusive feminist intros I have read. I also have a pretty incredible reading list to look forward to based on the recommendations within and on enjoying some of the writers from it who have published their own books.

I feel like this shirt is appropriate for Women's Equality Day.

Hoping for more coffee soon! #roadtrip
This book is great to read in bits and pieces. And after a really intense book.😊
Loving this book so far! And this definition of feminism all the way back from 1914! #raising4daughters

pick#jubilantjuly day 6: #aWholeNewWorld - Look at all of those voices! This is a beautiful book. I would have adored it as a teen, and I'm so glad it is in the world now for young people to read & explore.

Here we are, in one person. Interesting times. #spinepoetry #riotgrams
Going to ALA? Hope I see you this weekend.
Slowly making my way through this. Kind of just reading and essay every other day.
pickSuch a spirited and joyful celebration of feminism. A well-curated and beautifully presented collection which is a must read for all feminists. Loved it.
Words to live by
Oh truth! As a teacher of teenage girls this is life!
pickI really loved this collection and wish it had been there for me when I was a teenager who was "not a feminist because I believed in equality". Deep shame, I know. Because this book is an intersectional look at feminism it serves as a fantastic introduction to the many forms this idea of equality takes. There is faith based feminism, trans feminism, mental health awareness feminism...feminism presented in its many forms.
pickFantastic read. Geared toward teens, but not so much that an adult can't enjoy it. Us adult nerd women want to know how to be a superheroine too. The essays made great valid points that give a lot of food for thought. I would recommend this to a young woman/girl to give them a look at a world where you do t have to follow what society says a female has to be. I would also recommend it to someone that is just starting to explore feminism.
My eleven year old niece chose this book for her birthday present. If this is the #childlike reading our kids are enjoying then I have extremely high hopes for our world 🌎
pickLoved this collection - especially the pieces by Malinda Ali, Suzannah Weiss, Alida Nugent, Courtney Summers, Rafe Posey, Mia & Michaela DePrince, Zariya Allen, Mikki Kendall, Sarah McCarry, Wendy Xu, & Wendy Davis! #tbrreadathon
Obviously need to track down & read all of these! (Black Girl in Paris; The Elementals; Girl Walking Backwards; The Saskiad; Uses for Boys) #tbrreadathon
"When I chose to love my body, to look at it with compassion and remember all the awesome things it can do, I am rebelling against a system that wants to keep me down." #tbrreadathon
"In any narrative about the way feminism truly functions, you should expect to see people with different needs working toward different goals." #tbrreadathon
And now for some feminism ❤️ #tbrreadathon
Ever wonder how a book is designed? I interviewed Laura Palese, design genius behind HERE WE ARE and a boatload of other gorgeous books, about how books get made: http://bookriot.com/2017/05/18/goes-designing-book-interview-designer-laura-pale...
"Marginalized women don't need other people to speak for them. They need the mic to speak for themselves. If you don't see someone that looks like you in mainstream feminism, you can - and should - absolutely speak up for yourself or encourage others to speak up. Find your own feminism."
