I’m sick of people who treat feminism like a fashion accessory. Many people attack Rookie for doing this, but I actually don’t think it’s them. Yes, Rookie has a lot of pastel fashion-y shoots and needs to be more intersectional, but it isn’t primarily a feminist website so not everything they…

I made my first zine today with help from this lovely article in Rookie, I called it “Sad Girls” because I was feeling angsty today and I channelled all that lovely hormonal sadness into it.
This looks beautiful- C

thebooksandthebees: Look, here's the deal:
Nobody is denying that Rookie does pretty good stuff. They encourage girl friendships and try to get rid of the cliche that being a teenage girl is stupid or essentially vapid. They incorporate feminism into their stuff and make it easier for girls to get into, better than Bitch and…

- Can anyone suggest a nice (preferably cheap or free) venue in London to hold our next Rookie meet/workshop in October? It could be a cafe or library, anywhere we can sit and talk and make things together!

This is a photograph of me taken at the London Rookie meet with caterpillar stickers on my cheeks and a glitter and flower infused tiara.
I wrote a bit about my UCL History summer school, a Religious Studies conference on money that my school ran, and the Rookie meet at my grown up girl blog. I had such a swell time at the meet - not just because of tiaras, stickers, clothes + book swapping, and cupcakes - but also because it was an environment where everyone was just really passionate in politics and it was so easy to have discussions and debates.
I hope that the Women’s Library isn’t going to be shut down (sign the petition here!) because it’s an important resource that needs to be preserved and it’d be wonderful if we could hold our next meeting there with readings of our favourite works and our own writing.
