Feminist book club as a reparative method and a form of female pleasure

Abstract

This article is an attempt to theorise the Sisterhood * of the Proud Dolphin feminist book club as a method of feminist reparation and empowerment. The article is based on 6 years of continuous monitoring, attending and co-leading of the club, which is still ongoing at the time of writing. The club is voluntary, attended by participants of diverse age and socio-economic status, their number varying depending on individual meetings and reading seasons. Currently, the meetings take place once a month. The literature ranges from prose and poetry to theoretical works and is decided at each meeting according to the interest of the participants.
