As we all know it‘s Banned Book week. This is from some of the highlights from the linked article. One positive in all this mess is that for the 87 book challenges last year there were 70 pushbacks on those challenges. #readwiththebanned #readingispolitical #realhistory #honesthistory #readingisresistance

Call me easily led: I am reading Zweig's autobiography b/c it featured heavily in an episode (S4E7) of the TV comedy series about EU institutions Parlement, with the subtext that it is transposable to today's world & political climate. Which is scary because Zweig lived through WWI and committed suicide in 1942.

This is a book about the women of the far right in the widest possible terms, from femonationalist, fascist, colonialist, etc. movements to conservative activism and TERFs. There is a lot of extraneous or “undigested“ info. I am hoping the last 100 pages are more directly relevant, but I won't be holding my breath.
Interviews with the author are more interesting than her book 😐
