pickSoft pick. I like the way Stokowski writes, it's easy-going, a bit snarky and sometimes even funny. Even though the things she writes about are not funny. More than once I found myself in the episodes of her life she shares with us. We learn how sneaky patriarchy is in our daily life and how it claims to be the right way to live. Sadly, the author looses her wit towards the end of the book.

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.
pickFrom the families of Augustus to Nero, the imperial mothers, daughters & wives led male-dominated lives & their (tragic) deaths were usually a brutal punishment. The Emperors were cruel & some seemingly depraved & yet it is the women that have come in for the worst criticism.
Overall, although it was a difficult read at times due to the subject matter (misogyny & the casual cruelties women were subjected to), (continued)
pickThis was a great book, it went into a lot of details about how much rape changes everything. I never really thought about the control some people can yield on others to infringe on their ability to vote. I don‘t know what to say really other than as a sexual assault survivor, reading this made me feel more heard.
This book has some really rough quotes in it. I‘m enjoying the way it‘s written and I feel the information in it is so important to not ignore.
The children like it better when I‘m not moving around as much.
I‘m struggling to articulate this one. Important; intersectional; staunchly anti capitalist and decolonial. I‘m in agreement with much of the book. A lot of it is very academic in language, and very French in its history covered but not inaccessible. A summary could be single issues will not win in struggles for equality, decolonisation must be strived for and respectability politics is futile. I need to read some fiction to feel less glum now.
Here are the #Roll100 books I‘ll be choosing from in November. I‘ve already started The Feminine Mystique even though it‘s still October. I‘m still reading but struggling to express myself or concentrate with the brain fog caused my chronic illness relapse. I find myself staring at the TV, not even following programs. Just normalizing struggling! I‘m sorry if anyone else is rn, too! 💕💕💕
so-soSome helpful info in here but also several things you‘ll probably just toss to the side. Certainly worth reading and taking what works.
