The Black Woman: An Anthology | Toni Cade Bambara

Pickpick

What a powerful book this was! Featuring essays from different Black women, this book was likely seen as radical in its time (1970). We need these words followed by collective direct action, now more than ever. These voices discuss how all issues intersect with a lens that only Black Feminism can give.

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii

I'm a day late, but I wanted to join in. The last few months have been awful. However, the last few days, I've started feeling so much better. 🤞I'm out of the cycle of constant asthma flare-ups and chest infections.
My 5 joys are
1) 🌞📚☕️🐞🦋🐦‍⬛🦉
2) The dawn chorus
3) Gloria
4) It's Mother's Day tomorrow, thinking about my beautiful mum, gone for 22 years but never forgotten.
5) My aunt's gorgeous yellow magnolia

AllDebooks Yesterday was the one year anniversary of my aunt's untimely death. Her magnolia that she gifted to me is about to come into bloom. 💔🌸💔 2mo
Librarybelle ❤️❤️❤️ 2mo

Happy #Chatterday 🌞

It is a bloomin' gorgeous spring day. 🌞☕️🌞 I'm sitting in the garden with a coffee. And I actually feel really well today for the first time in months.

How is everyone today?

@Bookwormjillk @dabbe @Cuilin @kelli7990 @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @Catsandbooks

Bookwormjillk Happy Saturday! I'm so glad to hear you're feeling well. What a winter for you!

It's going to be a nice day here too. I'm doing some paperwork now, but planning on hitting a book sale in a bit then spending all the hours possible outside. I have a bunch of seeds I need to plant.

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk that sounds like my idea of a perfect day. Enjoy x 2mo
Cuilin So glad you‘re having a good day!! 💚We‘re having a winter storm warning till noon tomorrow. 😣 My body is still adjusting to new meds. I‘m going to see David Sedaris Sunday night!! Today will be mostly an indoor day. 📖 2mo

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin hope it comes soon! We seem to have gone straight from winter to summer here. 2mo
AnnCrystal Glad you're feeling better 🙏🏼💝. 2mo
TheBookHippie @Cuilin Hope your body adapts soon!! It‘s winter here through April at least! 2mo
TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk have fun!!! 📚📚📚 2mo
TheBookHippie I am achy today but I‘ve pushed a lot this week to be able to do things I want to do. Just tea and books! Spring arrives mid May here if we‘re lucky! 2mo
TheBookHippie Glad you‘re finally having a good day!!! Yay!! 2mo
quietlycuriouskate So glad you are feeling better! Mr K and I had a (necessary) fight, which turned into a deep conversation followed by a walk to the library. On balance it's good, but I'm feeling rather out of sorts ‘cause I hate it when my plans are derailed without warning. 2mo
dabbe Glad you're feeling good! 🤩 Pippa had a seizure yesterday, so we're staying in today and taking it easy. She usually needs a day off to recuperate, so books and dog cuddles! Hope everyone is having a lovely day. 🩵💙🩵 2mo
AllDebooks @Cuilin Oh wow, #fangirling Let us know what he was like 😀 2mo
AllDebooks @AnnCrystal thank you x 2mo
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie thank you. Make sure you're well rested. x 2mo
AllDebooks @quietlycuriouskate oh dear. Sometimes, it is necessary to clear the air and reach a resolution. I hope the rest of your day came good. X 2mo
AllDebooks @dabbe oh no, poor Pippa. Hope she's recovering and you're both making the best of a slow day x 2mo
BooksandCoffee4Me I love that phrase: “A bloomin‘ gorgeous spring day” 💛 2mo
TheBookHippie @dabbe awe poor pup! 2mo
dabbe @AllDebooks TY! 🩵💙🩵 2mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie She is such a trooper! 🩵💙🩵 2mo
DebinHawaii So glad you are feeling well today! 💜 I‘m at the coffee shop for a bit catching up on reading & cards & relaxing after a busy week. Planning for a mellow weekend. 2mo
DebinHawaii @Cuilin I love David Sedaris! @dabbe I hope Pippa recuperates well! 💜 2mo
dabbe @DebinHawaii She's resting well today. Poor girl takes 24 pills a day to keep her epilepsy in check, and she still has at least one seizure a month. She's a brave girl. 🖤🐾🖤 2mo
AllDebooks @BooksandCoffee4Me ❤️🌸❤️ 2mo
AllDebooks @DebinHawaii I hope you had a restful weekend x 2mo

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 should have read this book ages ago, but better late than never! I see the drawbacks of Friedan‘s approach, how she focuses on a very narrow subset of women for her work, but I do think it‘s full of important criticism. I saw myself in these pages, much more than I‘d like. Definitely worth a read.

TheDaysGoBy It‘s on my TBR. I‘ve never read it either 13mo
GingerAntics I remember reading this for a class in grad school, but for the life of me, I remember very little of it. 13mo
Singout I‘m listening to Doppelgänger by Naomi Klein right now… she talks about this era of feminism. 13mo
