Christmas presents for Feminists (big and small!)

Not Christmas as I've already got them, but these earrings were my best present this year...

For younger girls (although my 9 year old still dips in and out) goodnight stories for rebel girls is good. Each page is a short story about an influential woman, from artists, scientists, historical figures, all sorts.

Just avoid the story about the boy who wins the right to use girls' toilets because he likes pink dresses...

I think to a large extent it depends on the feminist. I can't even say 'gender' without putting it in scare quotes and I think 'gender equality' is an oxymoron so I wouldn't go for anything with that word on it. Nor would I want to give the Fawcett Society my money, even if the jewellery is lovely!

Anything from ReSisters, Standing for Women, Fair Play for Women, the Wild Womyn Workshop on Etsy, or Leeds Spinners on Redbubble, I'd say.

I'm choosing between these for DD...

This got me thinking about other things for me presents. I've been having a gander at what else is online and this turned up:

thespark.company/products/womens-rights-feminist-t-shirt?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQiAk7TuBRDQARIsAMRrfUYZKiSmcfmtInXnuxGzZnP9nKII0ub1dHliMNOe-AAtwZN1RP9Y3J0aApq1EALw_wcB

And this cool Mind the Gender Pay Gap bag using Tube logo:

I would suggest the Lego Women of NASA set. Not sure if it is still available new but I have seen some second hand.

For Lego fans I would also recommend buying lots of plain heads and ‘girls’ hairstyles because lots of Lego sets aren’t a 50 50 sex balance. Of course you can play that a ‘man’s’ hairstyle is a woman but when arguing with a 4yr oId like to pick my battles!

Would also recommend the ‘who has what’ body book for young children (2-7?) - get the biological facts straight as early as possible.

Also play silks - easy for imaginative play and can easily be made into skirts (which my boys and girls want to do) without boys automatically thinking it is girly when they open the present

For Primary aged girls- the Great women books by Kate Pankhurst. We have Great Women who Changed History and Great women who worked Wonders

This is a great thread!

I'm definitely interested in this. As a GC (slightly undercover but coming out) woman, I'm enthusiastic about the Resisters United stuff. OP do you know what the sizing is like on the t-shirts and hoodies?

Also, I know that the Fawcett Society have this collaboration with the jewellery designers Tatty Devine which are lovely (although FS have been a bit hopeless recently with their lack of support of actual women)

Anything for nurturing feminism in boys?

Oh, great idea for a thread! Will get my thinking cap on.
My DGD is only two, so she will get Premium Bonds for a start (as every woman should have her own money).
My DSD will definitely approve of a ReSisters hoodie

Big presents: any of Jess De Wahls' incredible embroideries - and there are patches and badges for stocking fillers.

jump I love those badges!

I gave these to friends, and DD last year. They are rather lovelier than this picture shows. My DH came home with one for me first of all and I loved it so much I sent him back for several more. I don’t think he got them from the V&A, as they were a little cheaper than that.

I happen to know that Cambridge University Library is selling badges and tote bags based on the Behave Badly badge that Lisa Jardine gave to her colleagues and students. The badges are only about 50p I think, happy to send some if anyone wants to DM me. www.cam.ac.uk/TheRisingTide
