Women of the Book Who Go By the Name Feminists

I am giving a workshop at the 9th March Feminist Gathering that will be held at the Hackney Social Centre. My workshop will be during the early afternoon, and is called, “WOMEN OF THE BOOK WHO GO BY THE NAME FEMINISTS”. Here is a bit of a blurb with the details:

WOMEN OF THE BOOK WHO GO BY THE NAME FEMINISTS

This workshop is OPEN to practicing Jewish, Christian and Muslim women who label themselves feminists………………………………..and all other women who self identify as religious and feminists.
There would be a brief opening talk of say 10-15 minutes on the assumption by most people that feminism and traditional religion are at odds with each other. I would hope that this would be a non-judgmental environment, so that women of all three faiths had the freedom (without censor or condemnation) to describe what it means for them to be a woman of the Book and a feminist.
The workshop will run for an hour.


Time: 14.30pm – 15.30pm

Location: Hackney Social Centre, 231 Lower Clapton Road

Bus stop: Lea Bridge Roundabout

International Women’s Day is 08th March 2008, and there is no better place to celebrate it then London, England – the most global capital in the world. Read about planned events for this most electric day for women world-wide. And every now and again I will post human rights issues near and dear to my heart.
