“It just seems like Black women are trying to force white women to accept and include them. I‘m still not over how those suffragists treated Ida B. Wells at that march in 1913.” She was right. A group of white suffragists had tried to force Wells to march in back during a 1913 suffrage march. Wells patently refused, though, and found a way to march with her state delegation

#SheSaid

ChaoticMissAdventures White suffragettes in general were so racist! When I see Black women putting their "I voted" stickers on Susan B Anthony's grave I always want to ask if they are thanking her or mocking her.... We don't talk enough about how these leaders were determined to hold other categories back and I feel like we see the same today. 1h

Beyoncé gets that lesson about feminism better than most. And she has been one of the biggest victims of this failure to love women among Black feminists. Until the release of her magnum opus, Lemonade, an album so self- consciously about the interior lives, struggles, and emotions of Black women that even most of Bey‘s haters had to bow down

Beyoncé is my feminist muse

AnneCecilie And as I‘m typing this, I‘m listening to Beyoncé‘s Flawless, that‘s gets analysis later on, and one of my favourite songs #SheSaid (edited) 3h

The title is pretty self explanatory in what its about.

I feel that I finally had some arguments if I ever where to get into a discussion with a pro-lifer. And that actually feels great.

For me gaslighting was a term that suddenly turned about and was everywhere. Now I feel that I finally understand what it is and how it‘s used

I‘m so glad #SheSaid made me aware of this book so I read it

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m glad you liked it, or at least got some interesting things from it. Her other book Down Girl was very good too. (edited) 3d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa For gaslighting, I think I need to track down the original play now and read it. 3d

There were so many positive comments left on my post last night that I think it‘s worth making this official.

This is very low key—no tag list, so feel free to participate how often you would like. I am reading one nonfiction a month that looks beyond the history found in schools.

If you would like to participate, post your book and thoughts each month, using #RealHistory and/or #HonestHistory . I‘ll make a bibliography for those interested.

Aims42 I LOVE this idea!!! 🤩👊🏻♥️💙🤍 4d

#Read2025

Finished today for #SheSaid March & it‘s one of those books you can‘t really like because it‘s so damn frustrating especially in our current world but it also an important read. I missed Manne‘s previous book Down Girl but I understand that this book builds & expands on it & focuses on male entitlement & how patriarchy “punishes women for not giving men the moral goods to which they are, by the terms of our social contract entitled.”⬇️

DebinHawaii … Published in 2020, the examples like the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, incel gun rampages, and the #MeToo movement are still relevant in 2025 since little has changed & we have even gone further backwards in some respects. Still reading this book, spreading the message & most importantly acting on it are the only ways to bring about change. 6d

Hello #SheSaid. Posting a bit later today. I hope you are all finishing up with the book and if not learning a lot, at least feeling less alone and “gas lighted” when you are in certain situations and being told it‘s normal, not a problem, etc.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Wow! The tags even posted without issues today! I need to post late more often 🤣 6d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Bookwormjillk last week, I tried for literally hours. Logged out, back in, tried again. Let it sit after I hit enter, tried typing each in individually and then picking from the drop-down list of names. Anything I could think of….and nothing. I gave up after a few hours and just hoped you‘d find it by the tag. Today, copy & pasted the list in and it went right through and popped up as a comment immediately. 2 seconds 6d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Litsy may be gaslighting me 😂 6d
DebinHawaii @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Hah! But how frustrating! I finished the book this morning. It was a good but also frustrating read. 6d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @DebinHawaii I felt the same, but I also feel better knowing that I‘m not imagining the problems or the scope of the problems 6d
vlwelser I'm glad the tags worked. I'm ready (ish) to jump back in for the next book. I don't have the book yet but it's on hold at the library so forward progress is happening. 6d
AllDebooks I enjoyed this, despite its reiteration of well documented inequalities. Written well with some good insights 5d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser sometimes any forward progress is good progress. Even if it‘s just a tiny bit 4d
staci.reads I thought the book finished strong. The chapter Unelectable- On the Entitlement to Power - was especially relevant after the last election. The part about the backlash against Klobachar after her perceived "disloyalty" to Al Franken was new information for me. I really liked her discussion of communality and the effect that expectation has on women in power. That hit home for me personally. 4d
vlwelser 🤗 4d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @staci.reads there was a great footnote about Harris too, from the primaries…which was very relevant now too. 3d

This is not a bad book. I just don‘t want to read anything smacking of the real world right now. Maybe if I were in a better state mentally and emotionally I would learn something from this book. But as it stands, I‘m having a hard time getting into it. Back to fiction!

DGRachel I feel this deep in my soul. 😭 7d
CatLass007 @DGRachel Bailing on nonfiction? I may do that for the entire administration. 7d
DGRachel For most of March, I couldn‘t handle anything more series than light MG mysteries! I tried to listen to the #shesaid book this month and the rage was overwhelming. I bailed for my own sanity. 7d

CatLass007 @DGRachel MG mysteries? Please tell me more. Thank goodness there‘s plenty of fiction out there to keep us out of our heads, if that makes sense. I‘m of the belief that I could listen to the most depressing book of fiction ever written (Sophie‘s Choice) and I could tolerate it better than reality. 7d
DGRachel Have you read The Swifts: A Dictionary of Scoundrels by Beth Lincoln? Shenanigan Swift is DELIGHTFUL! I read the second book as well. So fun. My local indie also recommended Sisterhood of Sleuths by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman. I haven‘t read it yet, but I did check it out from the library. 7d
CatLass007 MG? I figured that it stands for middle grade? Thank you for the book recommendations. I definitely will check on them. 7d
