Exploring feminism
Monday January 14, @12:17AM, by Grace C Ross
Subject : Reading a few pieces, statecom discussion
Summary :
As we struggle as a party to support the candidacy of female candidates, provide female leadership within the party and struggle against a political culture long dominated by mean, this seemed an important time to (re-)explore our feminist roots and commitment to one of our key values:feminism.

Let's take some time before statecom to read three pieces and use 45 minutes of our meeting for discussion.

I'll create links or email out the essays once I get them in electronic form
Text :
That statecom members read three to four cornerstone feminist essays before our January statecom meeting.

That we take 45 minutes during the meeting for discussion, in small or whole group.

What did we learn or learn anew? How can we apply this in our work out in the world? In our relationships inside and outside the party? What does this mean for our fundamental analysis of how to create change in our society? In our Commonwealth?

  THE ARTICLES! Hi, here are four links (some on-line versions seem to only existed abridged). These are classics and in no particular order. I encourage folks to read whatever you can before the discussion (hopefully) at the meeting. And if not, they are still great and are still insightful in (deepening) our understanding of our Feminist Key Value-
  
  Thanks, Grace
