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 2025 we took a deep dive into Let This Radicalize You by Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba, Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler and Love In A F*cked Up World by Dean Spade.
This year we’re kicking off with a 5 week teach-in and reading series to dive into Language as Liberation: Reflections on the American Canon. Toni Morrison believed that the classroom was where language could still surprise, unsettle, and liberate. This series invites participants to read not for comfort or certainty, but for clarity, responsibility, and possibility.
Join us in that exploration.

How do I get a copy of Language as Liberation?
Pre-order the book from bookshop.org or 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.
