Internalized Misogyny: What it is and how it works
Book Review: Orlando by Virginia Woolf
Before I started “Orlando” by Virginia Woolf I expected it to be a complex and critical novel that is playing with the conventions of time, space, gender and genre. However, I did not expect it to be as satirical and humourous. I buddy read the novel together with Mariana from @booksofmyown. You can find her…
Book Review: Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

In this memoir Allende mixes feminist nonfiction with her own autobiography. The result is a beautiful book about life, aging and what…

Book Review: Trans. Frau. Sein. by Felicia Ewert
“Trans. Frau. Sein. Aspekte geschlechtlicher Marginalisierung” (Being. Trans. Woman. Aspects of gendered marginalisation) by Felicia Ewert is the first book in ages for which I used post its because there were so many well written and intelligent parts that I want to revisit in the future.
