Because I never post...

Jan 14, 2006 22:14

The problem with LJ is we all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

what drew you to become interested/involved with Literature & women's rights?

Great idea!~

Both were accidents, really.
I thought I was going to school for music or phychology, but ended up liking my english classes the best. I had always liked reading and writing. I think literature is important because it is a way to engage in dialogue with other people and ideas that you couldn't otherwise. And i have some writerly aspirations, even though lately I write more critical than creative work. I took a class on feminism because it was one of the only courses I could get into and ended up loving it and minoring in women's studies. I think, in a lot of ways, that movements for social justice like feminism and literature have the same goals--to open our eyes, to make change, to start the words and the conversations.

What was the last really great/amazing book you read?

I so apologize for giving you that book that I gave you for Christmas that one year. I tried to read it this past year and could not get through it for the life of me. Eeeesh.
