Auburn (57 KP) rated Wilder Girls in Books

Apr 10, 2019

Brutal is the first word that comes to mind for this book. It is unapologetic and brutal. There is no sugar coating instead there is blood, pus, and all other sorts of bodily fluids to make you cringe. Add in some girl on girl love and you have a feminist book for the ages.

Movie Rating

Battle of the Sexes breaks little new ground as either a sports film or a lesbian romance, but it’s lively, funny, and, if you’re unlucky enough to be a feminist in 2017, vicariously wish-fulfilling.

Critic- Dana Stevens
Original Score: 7 out of 10

Emotion Picture and amazing album

I played a few songs for my sister the other day and she was so surprised hay I would listen to music like this. It’s not just an African American Female rapper, Monae is an LGBTQ icon and a feminist stronghold. My favorite song is Django Jane for its impressive wordplay.

Movie Favorite

"“Maiden” is as captivating as any scripted film this year. It tells an incredibly gripping and powerfully feminist tale about the first women’s sailing team to enter the Whitbread Round the World Race with killer archival footage which kept me spellbound the screen, and twists which ultimately subvert every preconceived notion associated with its subject matter."

Ibram X. Kendi recommended Well-Read Black Girl: Finding Our Stories, Discovering Ourselves in Books (curated)

"I began my career studying, and too often admiring, activists who demanded black (male) power over black communities, including over black women, whom they placed on pedestals and under their feet. Black feminist literature, including these anthologies, helps us recognize black women ‘as human, levelly human,’ as the Combahee River Collective demanded to be seen in 1977."
