Looking forward to the Dworkin reissues! (Great covers imo.) I‘ve read 2 of these 3, and had to read them as pdfs 🙃 so we‘re well overdue for the reprint.

I thought this was an interesting audiobook. It looks at tv and film and how things have changed over time.

Overall good at exemplify all the instances where women's bodies and lived experiences are the excluded from public life, I knew a lot but not all of them. Unfortunately lacking in the solution area ("get more women into decision making processes" feels outright stupid in the chapter directly following how women in politics are treated.) the answer imo is violence, but Perez feels a little too centrist to admit that.

Just excellent.
Everyone should read it, even if it's a hard read because of the content (sexual assault + trauma).
In this graphic memoir, Una questions the treatment of women, how difficult it is for a female victim to be heard, the labels put on women (good/bad victims), she also questions the responsibility of men, the banality of men's violence, the cause of this violence.
A lot of food for thought.

So much truth and to know how flawed our judicial system still is is sickening. We can do better as a country.

Hello #SheSaid! It‘s no secret that I have gotten behind this month while moving. So we do not have a book selected for January. So January will be our catch-up reading month (I need it to finish December‘s yet), and Voting for the books for 2025. I‘ll take all the nominations so far and get a Voting Poll up for you by the first. Sorry for the delay, and please enjoy your holidays and have a great New Year!

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Singout I‘d say 90% of my physical books are moved now at least 😂. Need to move the rest and other odds and ends. I keep thinking I should slowly just buy more on kindle and not keep the physical ones… but then we get into book banning and who really has control of our digital content…and I think, maybe keep the physical books. 😂 3w
Lizpixie Will there be a Non Fiction Bingo in 2025? 3w
