Mae (1205maddy) | 11 comments I was wondering if anyone has or knows of any good feminist blogs? I love Our Shared Shelf, but would also like to read anyone's blogs about feminism, to learn as much as I can! Thank you for the help, have a great day everyone.

Mae (1205maddy) | 11 comments Hi Keith! Thank you for the links, I have only skimmed through them, but like them so far. No worries, I'd just like to broaden my knowledge about feminism, and lots of other topics really. Over the past couple years I've been reading a lot more philosophy and history books. What do you enjoy reading? Thank you again for the links!

Mae (1205maddy) | 11 comments Hey again Keith! :)

No worries, sometimes my responses can be lengthy too. Actually I appreciate longer responses, usually that means things are explained better. And I don't think you're manplaining. I need to look at the sources you were talking about, plus look up some more. I want to know more, plus how I can have more of a positive impact on the world, especially with women's rights and equality.

Yeah, me too! When I find an author who's amazing, I look up all of their work. I agree with what you said about the feminist books, I think it's important to read the ones that identify the issues and what can be done to make things better.

What is/are the 6 Bell Hooks books? Sorry, I haven't heard of that before! Also, what is your Twitter account, I'd like to check it out and see all the stuff you were talking about.

Thanks for messaging back so quickly! - Maddison

Mae (1205maddy) | 11 comments No worries, your English is really good actually! Is it your first or second language? I mess up sometimes too. Ahh, no need to apologize, you're too nice! Thank you for the links, I'll have to check out those books and links.

Laryssa | 6 comments Hi Maddison,

They're not blogs, but here are some links that are great resources for learning more about feminism:









Here's a Purdue summary of feminist literary criticism as well, in case you're interested in learning more about applying it to literature: .

In terms of blogs, there are many out there for just about every kind of feminism! I suggest perhaps finding out what kind of theories or beliefs you're most passionate about, and then searching for blogs that might touch on those topics =)

bell hooks is a prominent feminist and she has written a lot of interesting books. Here's a Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ link about her. If you're interested in her, she's worth checking out! /author/show...

I hope this helps! =)

Thank you so much for all of the information! I will definitely look at the links you gave me, and look up those books as well. They all sound really interesting and educational. And yes, I want to learn as much as I can! Thanks again. I have so much to read over my couple days off of work!

Mae (1205maddy) | 11 comments Hi Keith,

Oh. I'm sorry, I hope that I didn't offend you. The way that you worded it made it sound like English was a second language. All the same though your English is great, as I hope mine is. It's my only language too. :p

Mae (1205maddy) | 11 comments Bell Hooks, I actually looked up one of her books a while ago and forgot her name. Wow, I'm a goofball! *facepalm

I just checked out some more of her books though, I can't wait to buy any and all of them. I haven't had the chance to read any of them yet sadly. Thank you for your help guys!! :)
