For me, a great Friday night involves starting with a good book. Tonight, I am reading Gender Studies Professor Kristen J. Sollee’s treatise on feminism – Witches, Sluts, Feminists: Conjuring the the Sex Positive. What are you reading? May I suggest completing the week of International Women’s Day with a great female author? #FridayFacts via…

Checking out the incomparable @anndanger and I came across this. Her art style speaks to me, and this quote especially so. Learning to trust that things will turn out has been a challenge, but one that I am learning to face. Sometimes we need to let go and let be. Trust that things will happen…

It is International Women’s Day 2018. This day means so much to me, not only as a feminist in the bell hooks-defined tradition, but as a woman raising children to be successful, proud, fundamentally good people. I was raised to believe that in Canada, I was equal, and that I didn’t have to worry about…

Happy birthday, Christy! I am so so so grateful to have met you more than 8 years ago. Having seen each other through grief, happiness, heartbreak, success, depression, illness, parenting, and everything in between, I love you so much!

I am so lucky to have this inspiring, brave, smart woman in my family. She is a role model for doing what makes herself happy. She is kind, and cares deeply for others, but remembers that self love is important for loving others. #inspiringwomen via @RiplApp @ddduperron #womenshistorymonth #empoweringwomen #family #beyou #beyourself #inspiration #inspo #proud…

❤️❤️❤️💔 When Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s childhood friend wrote to her, knowing her public stance on feminism, and asked to teach her to raise her newborn daughter a feminist, Adichie was taken aback. She prefaces this slim volume by stating that she did not know how to raise a little girl to be feminist, but she…

What do Deepak Chopra and Haruki Murakami have in common, with regard to these quotes? The understanding that reading is a transformative process that broadens the mind and if one reaches past the bestseller shelf, one can find oneself.

❤️❤️❤️ Dr Frankel’s bestselling book for successful women, Nice Girls Don’t Get The Corner Office is a What Not To Do list for women looking to further their careers. Frankel’s “nice girl” is not referring to kind women, but rather the “nice girl” as a social construct impeding the advancement of women in the workplace.…

Image from @womenwhodareus March is Women’s History Month. March 8th is International Women’s Day, so for the next week, I will be focusing on women’s literature. (I know. It’s a shock. You’re flat on the ground in shock.) Today I am reading Feminism is For Everyone by bell hooks. Will you join me in reading…

Today, I am crushing on @brennaduperron. A woman I admire greatly, yet have the unfortunate habit of infantilizing simply because she was born 5 years later than I. #WCW #WomenCrushWednesday #sisterlove #kalidesautelsreads via @RiplApp #PhD #smart #woman #teach #lecture #write #books #brilliant #funny #beautiful #incredible #brave #fam #family #sisters #friends #read #reading #readers #blogger #blog…
