For our May Feminist Culture Club, we’ll be discussing Russian Doll, the new Netflix comedy-drama created by Natasha Lyonne (who also stars), Amy Poehler, and Lesyle Headland. In twisted Groundhog Day style, Nadia keeps reliving the day that she heads to an NYC party to celebrate her 36th birthday and dies, in various ways. We can’t tell you more or we’ll give too much away. Just watch the first series, then let’s unpick this together and figure out what its really about.

For our April Feminist Culture Club, we’ll be discussing The Dropout, ABC’s popular podcast about tech pioneer Elizabeth Holmes and the downfall of her company Theranos. It traces the fascinating story of how Holmes went from the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire to being indicted for fraud charges, how a company that promised to change the world led to allegedly making patients more vulnerable, and how the media was unknowingly complicit in both. Its all here: betrayal, hubris, fame, even love.

For our March Feminist Culture Club, we’ll be discussing Tara Westover’s striking memoir Educated. Repeatedly on Best of Lists for 2018 (just see this list over on Amazon), this is a book that has stunned people with its true tale of a seventeen-year old Westover entering a classroom for the first time after growing up in a Survivalist family in the mountains of Idaho.

To kick of our 2019 Feminist Culture Club, we’ll be discussing Tamara Jenkin’s Private Life currently showing on Netflix. This poignant film is about a long-married couple’s quest to have a baby through adoption or IVF. It’s wonderfully well acted by Paul Giamatti and Katherine Hahn and is so cleverly written, that while it deals with a serious topic, it remains entertaining. We loved this movie. There’s so much to talk about.
