I loved this but it was a hard read with much sadness.

An Anthology of Essays by British Muslim women. I love reading the opinions, and viewpoints of women across the UK. If you've not read a book like this before, it may be a good beginning for the understanding of Intersectionality. You might not enjoy every essay within the book. But you are guaranteed to find a chapter that resonates with you.

I absolutely love this book, it explains so many aspects of the patriarchy in such an understandable way. And her podcast is amazing, she covers sex, feminism, body Image, social Media and relationships all in such a empowering open way. The episodes are always really enlightening, I look forward to them every Monday! ]]> 2022-03-24 15:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mjackson418/yc8dlthdb5u3z1g5/wish/2112072189 lyzsy1110 https://padlet.com/mjackson418/yc8dlthdb5u3z1g5/wish/2130861656 I benefit from the feminist culture in many countries and regions. In order to avoid a situation of anti-intersection similar to "whites for blacks", I sincerely recommend everyone to understand the current situation of East feminism even if it may be difficult because of the language barrier.
I really recommend a Japanese scholar called Ueno Chizuko. She gave a speech at the 2019 University of Tokyo Commencement Ceremony student faced.  which generally introduces the situation of EVERY east Asia female (youtube has the video). And lots of her papers and books are famous in all of east Asia like misogyny, Patriarchy System and Capitalism, Nationalism and Gender, etc.]]> 2022-04-05 15:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mjackson418/yc8dlthdb5u3z1g5/wish/2130861656
