Meet Glib Teenage Feminists on Wednesday's Teachers Teaching Teachers
File this one under student self-initiated work that gives you hope for the future — and the present too!
We’ve invited the young women who started a feminist blog recently to join us on Teachers Teaching Teachers. Let’s learn what they are up to. And before the show, do yourself a favor and check out some of their posts.
Women’s Glib is a community of nerdy, foul-mouthed youth. Miranda started the adventure in January, after many months spent wondering if she was up to the task of maintaining a blog. She was very quickly joined by Katie, Ruth, Zoe, Phoebe, Shira, Silvia, and Kyla. Guest contributors also help spread the feministy love now and then.Here’s what they say on their about page:
Women’s Lib[eration], a.k.a. feminism: n., belief in the social, political, and economic equality of all people regardless of gender or sexCome be inspired with us by this new generation of feminist bloggers.
glib: adj., performed with a natural, offhand ease
Women’s Glib is a blog by and for young feminists and womanists. Contributors are teenage New Yorkers, writing about what matters to us with a focus on feminism and other progressive values. We cannot and do not speak for all teenagers or all young feminists; we simply speak for ourselves and write our own truths.
Join us, at http://EdTechTalk.com/live tomorrow — Wednesday, May 27th — at 9:00pm Eastern / 6:00pm Pacific USA Wednesdays / 01:00 UTC Thursdays World Times
