Story
More than just a slogan on a t-shirt, feminism is a radical tool for fighting back against structural violence and injustice. Feminism, Interrupted is a bold call to seize feminism back from the cultural gatekeepers and return it to its radical roots. Lola Olufemi explores state violence against women, the fight for reproductive justice, transmisogyny, gendered Islamophobia, and solidarity with global struggles, showing that the fight for gendered liberation can change the world for everybody when we refuse to think of it solely as women's work.

I loved it - easy to follow, interesting, engaging, fresh. I especially loved this part: “Art is best utilised as a weapon, a writing back, as evidence that we were here.”

It’s okay. A fun take on contemporary surface level paganism. There is not much about actual activism or revolutionary anything other than wishful thinking=witchcraft.

Patterson shares her own relationship to beauty— how she redefined her understanding and belief in beauty, and what drew her back to the transformative power it holds for all of us today.

Discourse into, under, over, and through Beauty

Boring and shallow
Reviewed: 05-04-23
I expected more I guess. Interviews are very surface level and there is no deeper discourse about what and why beauty is.

Humans are a varied and divergent bunch with all manner of beliefs, morals, and bodies.

World-renowned activist and poet Sonya Renee Taylor invites us to reconnect with the radical origins of our minds and bodies and celebrate our collective, enduring strength.

Great book and delivery by the author. I much preferred the first part which is kind of philosophical/societal musings to the second self-help part.

Story
The 10 enlightening (and often humorous) lectures of Medieval Myths and Mysteries will show you how far from the “dark” times of legend these centuries were. Uncover the facts about the Knights Templar. Reveal the truth behind the tales of legendary creatures like the Questing Beast and the unicorn. Trace the events of the Black Death and the ways it altered the world in its wake, and much more. With Professor Armstrong, you will dig deep into the ways that later generations reshaped the narrative of the medieval years and perpetuated the myths.

I am not all that interested in Medieveal times but the storyteller is so engaging I am now on her third book. I just couldn’t stop listening.
