Feminist Book Group
|
This women-only feminist book group is run by members of the London Feminist Network and pro-feminist women are welcome to join us. We meet from 7pm to about 9pm usually on the third Tuesday of the month in central London. For information about how to get involved, see our Join Us page or email lfnbookgroup @ yahoo.co.uk (remove spaces).
We aim to work out the list of books well in advance in order to give time to obtain and then read them. (Scroll down for ideas about how to get the books if you are having difficulty.) From time to time we discuss what books to add to the list and everyone is free to make suggestions.

Dates and books
Getting hold of the books If you are having difficulty obtaining the books, you may want to try ordering them online. The ethical solution is to use an independent bookseller like Housman's Online Bookshop or AbeBooks.
Another solution is to buy secondhand through Amazon. What I generally do is to go to http://www.amazon.co.uk/ and search for the book there. Once I've found it, I click the "Used" link. This lists independent book sellers who are selling the book second hand, often very cheaply, although there's postage and packing on top. Generally I choose sellers who are based in the UK and who say they can despatch within a couple of days.
Alternatively, you could try your local library, if necessary ordering it. Sometimes they will buy the book for you and after you have finished with it, it will go back on the shelves to be enjoyed by other women. Ordering a book from the library sometimes takes some time, which is one of the reasons we work out the list of books well in advance.
Also highly recommended is The Owl Bookshop, 209 Kentish Town Road, London, NW5 2JU (020 7485 7793). They are open 9.30-6pm Monday-Saturday and noon-4.30pm on Sundays. If they don't have the book in stock, they will try and get it secondhand for an admin charge of about £3, plus postage.
