One of my feminist/blogger friends had the rather smashing idea of starting a weekly Feminist TV Club! Check out what she has to say about it; hopefully you'll feel like joining in the discussion!
Books are great, but they sure are time-consuming. And when you belong to a book club, there’s a certain anxiety that comes with finishing the book on time and reading carefully. You know what’s more fun? Watching TV. You know what’s even more fun than that? Talking about feminism in TV shows with fellow young feminists!
Which is why I, Becka, am starting a Feminist TV Club. Simply watch one episode of a certain TV show a week (20-45 minutes), and we’ll discuss it in the comments of a blog posting on my blog
The Details:
- First TV Show: Commander in Chief (2005-2006)
- Available on Netflix Instant or on Sidereel. Starting with Season 1, Episode 1.
- The blog post summarizing/discussing the episodes will go up every Mondaystarting August 8th, 2011on my blog, Becka Tells All.
- Any and all suggestions are welcome! Please shoot me an e-mail at: [email protected] to talk about potential TV shows to use (they can be a whole series, an episode, or one season of a long-running TV show that deals with a particular issue), how to structure this endeavor, or general tips to improve awesomeness.
See you on Monday!
