A video review will then be posted on Jean (bookishthoughts) or Lauren's (readsanddaydreams) channel on youtube. At the end of the first month there will be a pre-scheduled twitter chat on themes relating to that month's book, which will not require you to have finished the book. We read one book over the course of two months throughout the year. Therefore, I want this bookclub to be a group. I strongly believe feminism, which means equality of all sexes in society, not to be about the individual but about everyone and to be a group movement. This is not 'my' bookclub, however, it belongs to all of us. All engagement is welcome though, on youtube, on blogs and on goodreads.

Sick of sexist comments from people online and being accused of banging my 'feminist drum' by intolerant people I have decided to start a Feminist Bookclub on Booktube. We're also o Discover and recommend more feminist reads here: I am currently available for freelance work including social media consultancy the services I offer are listed here.Discover and recommend more feminist reads here: Episodes include interviews with authors Pat Barker, Madeline Miller, Natalie Haynes, and Alexandra Sheppard. The podcast explores antiquity, from its history to its place in today’s world. In addition to this I produce the podcast That’s Ancient History, which is available on most major podcast apps. My specialties are Greek literature, Athenian law, Greek Mythology, and the history of women in Classical Greece. In the past, I have completed both an undergraduate and postgraduate degree in classics at The University of Edinburgh. I recently obtained my PhD in ancient history from The University of Roehampton, where I have also taught various undergraduate courses. My first adult fantasy novel, The Flames of Albiyon, is out September 2nd 2021, and there may also be some more non-fiction projects in the works. In 2020 I won the BAMB Breakthrough Author award for my first book, Greek Myths: Meet the heroes, gods, and monsters of ancient Greece, which was published by DK and is aimed at children aged 7-11. I am also an author, presenter, and as of 2022 Dr Jean Zacharski Menzies, PhD in ancient history! You might know me from my YouTube channel JeansThoughts where I've been discussing books, writing, studying, and ancient history since 2012.
