Feminism Today talk…

By Jess McCabe | 27 March 2008, 22:28

I’ve been helping to organise a talk on the state of feminism today at Housmans Bookshop near King’s Cross. All welcome and even better it’s free!

What’s happening with feminism today?

Wednesday 30th April, 7pm

In the last few months there has been the biggest growth in feminist activism in two decades. To discuss this resurgence, we are bringing together a panel of activists including Jess McCabe from the F-Word, Finn Mackay of Reclaim The Night, Laurie Penny of Red Pepper, women from Wominspace (the new squatted women’s social centre), Jennifer Drew, and others.

This blog is a safe and friendly space for feminists and feminist allies. Debate and critique are welcome where it is constructive and deepens analysis or understanding. Anti-feminist comments will not be approved. We get to decide what's anti-feminist.
All comments must be approved by one of the bloggers. For this reason, there may be a delay before your comment appears.
No sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, classist, ablist comments, comments which make personal attacks on any blogger or commenter, or comments that are otherwise deemed offensive by us will be posted.
