How do I get educated on this?

[Notsandwiches]

Can anyone recommend any reading so that I can educate myself on feminist issues? Any appropriate to children?

Anyone know of any groups in East Midlands?

Feeling my shite knowledge isn't on. TIA.

This is pretty good. Even if you skip reading it, the resources list is full of good things.

This is also a useful thread for more information:

I really need to not be reading that website at work DancelikeEmmaGoldman but the bit I've stumbled into is hilarious!!

Really enjoying it, thanks for posting

Hi OP,

As a starter I’d recommend these three books...

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
We should all be feminists
(Short, very readable introduction to feminism)

Cordelia Fine: Delusions of Gender
(An award winning neuroscientist discussing scientific evidence that the two sexes have the same brain but socialisation moulds the respective brains over time to create the imbalances we see)

Michelle Goldberg: The Means of Reproduction; Sex, Power & the future of the world
(Brilliant, very readable New York Times journalist, she gives a huge, historic overview of women’s lived realities and the fight for women’s rights over the past 50 years)
