feminisms and activisms

the semester has started
and i am very very excited about
my feminisms and activisms class
not only does the prof rock
but my peers are all aspiring activists and they are all inspiring
and they all rock too
i will absolutely be blogging about this class a lot.
because i think it is going to be truly awesome.

i wanted to drop in a book recommendation
as i am reading a really really amazing book for this class
it is not often (at all) that a textbook becomes a prized possession
this one really has.
it is called:
transforming power: from the personal to the political
and it is by Judy Rebick.
essentially, this book explains the importance of collectivity
and including the opinions and perspectives of the marginalized
(usually the poverty-stricken)
Rebick bases a lot of her work off Brazil
(where they are currently practicing this form of government)
and so far (it is still fairly new), the results are amazing.
change needs to start from the bottom up.
absofuckinglutely.
please read it :).
think about it.
let it sit in your brain.
get goosebumps over it's ooey-gooey message.
just enjoy.

oh!!! i get to meet judy rebick by the way :)
i'll let you know how it goes
