Janet Fraser"I want to bottle feed rage to every baby girl so that it fortifies her bones and muscles. I want her to flex and feel the power growing inside her as she herself grows from a girl into a woman." Mona Eltahawy
Eve Jones@Brittca I don't read much fiction but I did recently grab a copy of "Wounds" by Nathan Ballingrud, which is actually 6 separate stories
In terms of other fiction, I lean towards #IrvineWelsh novels
I tend to read several books at a time, mixing between actual books & audiobook. Most of these are non-fiction so I like to mix it up with a bit of fiction brain-candy
As for non-fiction, I read feminist lit - #ClementineFord #MonaEltahaway & others that I can't think of at the moment
Also biographies around #AusPolitics & various (left leaning) politicians. Also, stuff around mental health, medicine, the welfare state & of course, #TrueCrime
Recently I watched "Blonde" on Netflix, a loosely based bio on Marilyn Monroe. I realised what a tragic & complicated person Marilyn was & although I don't fancy her much as an actress, her influence then & now is undeniable. I decided to learn more about her so I'm reading an old-ish 2nd hand hardcover biography, & I'm really enjoying it. It's not my usual literary diet & that's cool with me πβοΈ
