About Feminist Article Club
Like the idea of a book club but don’t have time to read a whole book right now? That’s what article clubs are for. Many important and inspiring things have been written in short form — we explore them in Feminist Article Club.
After our discussion, you are also encouraged to come with us to this important event at 2pm:
Tea Talk: Ain’t I a Woman
In the wake of Democrat Doug Jones’ victory in the Alabama special election, Black women again became icons, trapped in a cycle of ennoblement, flattening, and dehumanization.
Black women and girls have continually been on the front lines of progressive change movements, using their voices and stories to mobilize intersectional coalitions to dismantle oppressive systems. Yet, they are routinely portrayed in television and film as sassy, neck-rolling harpies with major attitude problems. Black women say these depictions have real world consequences in their lives and careers.
