Hi! I was thinking of joining the book club. I was wondering... is there an specific current of thought that is expected of members? I identify with the ideals of intersectional feminism, and don't feel comfortable with some of the ideas of currents of radical feminism, specially regarding gender and queer theory... So would it be okay that I join?
Hi, I don't mind, your interpretations of the book are yours, this isn't a radical feminist book club, but a spiritual book club for radfems/rad aligned or feminist women who aren't afraid of talking about spirituality with any of us lol. None of the books I have in mind for this book club are traditional radical feminist texts or anything like that, so that's why it's just a spiritual bookclub for feminist women. We're all just bringing our own feminist lenses to the table and most of the books authors were feminist or engage with feminist critical theory in some way.
Some of the books in mind for this group are starhawk's the spiral dance (most likely next), woman spirit rising by carol p christ and judith plaskov, and women who run with the wolves by clarissa pinkola estés. You are completely free to browse over the summaries and see what else these women have written or said to get a feel of the types of books we're going to hopefully go through. They're not all radical feminist leaders or movers, but just influencial feminist historians, theologists, witches, etc.
