What an interesting collection of discoveries this week! Always sharing the best with us! Thank a whole lot, Hilary and the rest of the Urbanette staff. You guys are my rock!
Noteworthy feminist writings! Unfortunately only read 2 of them, but I’ll most definitely read the rest as well. Always looking for more modern feminism base books.
This is a FABULOUS list, and includes articles I’ve never thought of. I missed watching Malala’s story last Tuesday, saw the trailer of “He named me Malala” on Nat Geo and I’ve never thought that it has a book. I would definitely love to read it. Definately reading other people’s stories and achievemens inspires me a lot. Thanks for finding these awesome articles! 🙂
I was excited by the thoughts and articles you shared. I loved the quote of Albert Einstein.
I can proudly say that I’ve already 4 of these incredibly inspirational feminist books, and I look forward to reading the other 6. 🙂
Loved this week’s discoveries.
Have to mention that heard a lot about the Vice, but never watched it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I’ll binge watch it this weekend to see how it made such great success.
Crazy travel “horror” stories! How misfortunate, yet all are so lucky to have made it alive. Real stories like these are a good reminder of the dangers in travelling. Could happen to anybody! Can never be too careful.
I definitely agree that you can never be too careful, but the travel misfortunes make the best stories, if the ending is a happy ending.
Great list, some I would not have thought of. I love having everything in one place. I especially like the one with Meat and dairy farmers who became vegan. Now, you’ve added a few more options there for me to try and read. Thanks for all of the great writing you produce on this site!
Oh my god. I can’t believe I haven’t even heard of most of these books, and I read A LOT of feminist literature. Thanks! This expanded my list of books to read.
I love this week’s collection! When we travel, we want to have the best memorable experience. A good friend of mine had the scariest travel of her life when an earthquake hit Indonesia while she was there on vacation… Lesson learned from her experience, medical insurance (or having an insurance) while traveling is very important. Also, the best course of action when natural disaster strikes is follow local authorities and be alert ALWAYS!
