I know it’s not even November yet but I’m starting to write Christmas lists early thanks to anticipation of COVID-chaos. I would love to support as many brave feminists as possible with my purchasing power.

So far I have:
The Ickabog/ Strike books by J.K. Rowling
Difficult Women by Helen Lewis
Embroidery patches by Jess de Wahls

Any more suggestions for Christmas gifts that will support the fearless women (or men) who’ve stuck their heads above the parapet?

I wish to retract "bedtime stories for Revel girls". Apparently there is a trans girl featured. Sorry! Some people seem to be solving this by gluing those 2 pages together but in the spirit of this thread it doesn't fit the bill. Annoyingly. If anyone knows of a similar unwoke version I'd be interested. Ebay and something old might be the answer though, I remember loving one featuring Amy Johnson and Joan of Arc as a kid.

yes Lissa Evans removed her latest book from the womens prize in protest. 'v for victory' - shes a fab writer.

@SmallPug I thought she had spoken out in support of JKR but I can’t find any evidence now and her name doesn’t seem to be on the letter of support.

Sheila Jeffries’ autobiography is a good read.

Is Melissa Harrison GC?

Scout2016 · 24/10/2020 22:04

Does anyone know where the money goes from sales of box sets? Are they just too old hat now for gifts maybe? I'm thinking Black Books or Motherland etc in support of Graham Linnehan, though I know not everyone is keen on Motherland.

Skyliner's goady post, did you not see it?

How droll. Domestic violence is always so chic.
Not sure what you're referring to here @PenguindreamsofDraco ?

Would love if someone could recommend a feminist friendly family calendar for 2021. Need one with days of the month listed one below the other by month with 4 columns so can put in appointments for different members of family

I believe from Grahman Linehan's comments that Lissa Evans is GC and igned the anti JKR abuse petition. I have really enjoyed her novels, Crooked Heart especially.

Thanks @Scout2016

PP was talking about doing a knitted version on her your tube the other day, thing is she has to get a minimum order and it will be about £50 and I'm broke!

Scout2016 · 24/10/2020 18:36

@OhHolyJesus Standing For Women have this jumper. It says "identifies as a Christmas Jumper." And there's a "identifies as a Christmas Card" card too.

I’d also suggest books by Jane Harris, recently banned from Twitter for the crime of thinking while female.

Sunscreeneveryday · 24/10/2020 18:20

Home Grown: How Domestic Violence Turns Men into Terrorists by Joan Smith, one of the best books I've read in years.

And this company do suffergette / literary women etc items.

For those who have everything Lendwithcare vouchers start at £15 and it's sort of micro crowd funding people in other countries to get their business going / bigger. If you get repayments you can either reinvest or tale the money out. I'm choosing to only support women.

mum2jakie · 24/10/2020 17:46

I bought the new illustrated hardback edition of Harry Potter based on a JKR thread on this board. It's beautiful!
