It is in looking to the nightmare that the dream is found. - Audre Lorde

I went to the National Women’s Studies Assocication (NWSA) 32nd Annual Conference this past weekend with some amazing women from Women Involved in Living in Learning (WILL) from the University. It was such as enlightening conference. I’m inspired to changed the world some more! HAHA. I went book crazy when I was at the conference and bought some contemporary books on feminism. I’m really excited to read these and will find the time in my schedule to do so. Honestly, I’d rather read these than my actual homework readings. Jennifer Baumgardener was there and signed F’em! I also got a book for free signed by the author since she was proud of my work thus far as an undergrad. This book is entitled Activist Art in Social Justice Pedagogy. The women at the conference really inspired me to continue learning and working towards affecting social change in the future! Teacher at Point Blank: Confronting Sexuality, Violence, and Secrets in a Suburban School by Jo Scott-Coe Born Digital: Understanding the first Generation of Digital Natives by John Palfrey and Urs Gasser F’em! Goo Goo, Gaga, and Some Thoughts on Balls by Jennifer Baumgardner America + The Pill by Elaine Tyler May The Asian Mystique by Sheridan Prasso Same Difference: How Gender Myths are Hurting Our Relationships, Our Children, and Our Jobs by Rosalind Barnett and Caryl Rivers Activist Art in Social Justice Pedagogy edited by Barbara Beyerbach and R. Deborah Davis Homelands: Women’s Journeys Across Race, Place, and Time edited by Jenesha de Riviera and Patricia Justine Tumang (I’m really excited to read this one because it’s edited by two Filipinas! There’s little visibility of Asian feminism, and Filipina feminism at that, which I am interested in researching and learning more about as it is part of my identity.) Unnatural Selection: Choosing Boys Over Girls and the Consequences of a World Full of Men by Mara Hvistendahl
