Feminist Book Club Edinburgh is reading The Guilty Feminist by Deborah Frances-White (@dfdubz), host of the podcast of the same name! From inclusion to intersectionality, #MeToo to men's rights, rom-coms to pornography, this book tackles urgent questions for the modern woman and examines how women can abandon their guilt, say No (when they mean it), say Yes (when they want to), and to change the world - and ourselves - for the better. The Guilty Feminist is available at @bookshop_org_uk, @waterstones, and wherever books are sold. There is also a copy available at @edcentrallib. #edinburghbookclub #edinburgh #booklover #books #theguiltyfeminist #bookstagram #bookclub #feminism #feministbookclub #feministbooks #feministbookclubedinburgh

Feminist Book Club Edinburgh is doing a Classics Month for February, and we're going to be reading "Lysistrata"! The play, written by Aristophanes and first performed in 411 BCE, is a Greek comedy about a group of women who pledge to deny their husbands sex until they end the wars between the Greek city-states. It's available at the library and wherever books are sold, but it's also free online. We recommend the Ian Johnston or Alan Sommerstein translations if you're reading a free PDF, or the Jeffrey Henderson or Alan Sommerstein translation if you're buying or renting a copy. #edinburghbookclub #edinburgh #booklover #books #classics #ancientgreece #bookstagram #bookclub #feminism #feministbookclub #feministbooks
