This year, we’ve been exploring a new way to Read & Resist through our Towards Liberation series. This series weaves together author Q&As, lectures, and discussion groups, all centered on creating meaning and driving actionable change in the world.
In February and March, we took a deep dive into the organizing primer Let This Radicalize You by Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba. In May we read Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler.
We’re excited to introduce our next book in the series! This August we’ll be reading Love in a F*cked Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell Together by Dead Spade.
How can I join the online discussions?
Head to our online community and join the club! You have two options to join us:
- You can join Feminist Book Club as a virtual member for $12 a month** and get access to the discussion group AND our exclusive content, monthly book chats, silent reading hours, and more.

In the online community you’ll have access to the virtual discussions (via Zoom), a space to write out your thoughts with co-conspirators, and a chance to connect with like-minded peers looking to make change in their communities.

What is the discussion schedule like?
Virtual discussions take place bi-weekly at 7pm CT (5PT/8ET) on the online community.
July 30th – Book Kickoff
August 13th – Check-in and share your mid-book thoughts
August 27th – Let’s talk about the book!
How do I get a copy of Love in a F*cked Up World?
Pre-order the book from us HERE! Order from bookshop.org, get an audiobook from Libro.FM, check it out from the library, or purchase it from your favorite local indie bookshop… just please don’t order it from Bezos.
Will there be any in-person meetings?
We currently have no dates scheduled for discussion for in-person discussion. Interested in an in person meeting group? Let us know HERE
Have any questions about in-person meetings? Email Rah at rah@feministbookclub.com
Throughout the year, we will lead other discussion groups as well – sometimes returning to a book we’ve featured in the past and sometimes choosing one that would likely not end up as a monthly pick or in a special edition box. After all, just because something doesn’t line up neatly with a theme doesn’t mean it’s not worth discussing.
**Sliding scale is available! If you’re in a space where you want to join the discussion, but cost is an obstacle fill out the sliding scale form here.
