In May we will read a text that for years has been considered “an essential primer on the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century history of women’s movements in Asia and the Middle East”.

In Feminism and Nationalism in the Third World Kumari Jayawardena “presents feminism as it originated in the Third World, erupting from the specific struggles of women fighting against colonial power, for education or the vote, for safety, and against poverty and inequality”.

We will meet at 16:00 at the community kitchen De Peper (cash venue) located inside OT301 (http://www.ot301.nl).
We’ll discuss the text for a couple of hours and then (for those who wish) enjoy a vegan meal (donation based).
If you want to join for dinner you need to call on the same day to reserve (0684781156), or you can sign up at the bar while you’re there.

De Peper has a ramp and a large toilet.
If you have access needs regarding the event that you feel may not already be in place please get in contact with us so that we can do our best to incorporate these.
We understand that it can be daunting to attend events where you don’t yet know anyone. If you feel worried or socially anxious about attending and would like to meet one of us first reach out.

If you want to attend the session but money reasons make it difficult for you to get hold of the book we will try to help.
