More than a book club

Our feminism is radically inclusive and intersectional. We prioritize voices from marginalized populations whenever and wherever we can. We believe Black lives matter, trans women are women, water is life, science is real, abolition is necessary, no human is illegal, and healthcare is a human right. We seek to dismantle the kyriarchy on an individual and structural level, one book, one conversation, and one movement at a time.

Join our community to experience feminist theory in action or check out our award-winning media content on our blog, podcast, Instagram, or TikTok!

Read & Resist

Connect all month long in our private online community (no, it’s not facebook, ew) then hop into our discussion forums or on video chat to talk about the book in real-time with other radical feminist readers from around the world (and often the author!). We host tons of chat opportunities every month so don’t worry about fitting us into your schedule.

New in 2023! Join us for our guest lecture series, grow and learn together alongside experts in gender, social justice, and feminism.

hella flexible experience

Choose between fiction and non-fiction titles each month and we’ll send it to you in the mail or via audiobook (thanks to our friends at Libro.fm!). In true non-hierarchical feminist fashion, members have the opportunity to suggest titles for our upcoming themes. We then vote on these suggestions to determine which book will be our next pick. Have you already read the book of the month? You can always swap for another book in our ever-changing and expertly-curated library. We read across genre, so you’ll always find something you love… or expand your horizons!

Vote for the Next Book (members only!)

LET'S GET STARTED

but why?

FBC is perfect for getting a broad spectrum, intersectional exposure to feminism with the most supportive community. It's a safe place to learn and ask questions and grow. The live events are such a great experience and the intimate chats with authors are enlightening. Come for the books but stay for the community!

FBC promotes intersectionality, diversity, truth (even when it’s hard to face), and at its core, FBC is about raising up others, supporting them, sharing their stories, and showing us how they fit into our own. In a time where so much is unknown, having a small-woman owned business I trust and can rely on can literally be the difference in making my day.

Signing up with FBC was one of the best things I’ve done for myself. The FBC community has helped me to grow SO MUCH both as a feminist and as a reader over the last year.

I love FBC! It helps me expand my worldview and think critically about my previous relationship with feminism. And, it’s also a really fun and kind community of readers that you get to connect with online. 10/10 recommend!
