So, the first meeting I arranged didn't go ahead because I was ill. So now I want to set a new date, but I want an idea of how the meeting/s will go. I think we need to start with it being a discussion group, and if any activism comes out of that, then that's great, but I am concerned that activism as a primary goal will put people off, when we can see clearly that people don't really understand a lot of feminist issues in the first place!
A friend has suggested that I find an article to email round anyone who wants to attend, for them to read beforehand, and for us to discuss during the meeting. And then let the conversation meander from that article. I'm trained and experienced in facilitating group discussions, so that should work well from my perspective, and I can choose the article carefully to make it more likely that a feminist issue will be discussed than another (if we've already discussed a few IYSWIM).
I guess sort of like a book group, but with less homework 
, which might put people off!
What do you think? And what might be a good article to read to start off with? I'm sure I'll get good at finding good articles as time goes on, but could do with some help from you lovely lot to give me a head start!
