Welcome to Litsy!

Friday was a rest and relaxation day for me before my ballet exam Sunday just gone. I got a head spa and massage then did a spot of op shopping. This haul was from The Samaritans in Hamilton for the grand total of $26. For those following along it‘s my 5th exam as an adult and I fell apart. I had been sick but it wasn‘t that bad and I wasn‘t super nervous but I made a mistake in the very first exercise and it took me a while to get over it.

This book looks at the old matriarchal societies, differing greatly from the ones we live in today. Once, women ruled. They had many rights and were not only respected but looked to for guidance on the deepest matters of life. They played every role in a community.

3.5 🌟 a disturbing dystopian read, with parallels to the handmaids tale but much much darker. Playing on the cruelty of teenage girls to each other and for perfection is spookily familiar in todays society , throw in how women have lost the right to their own bodies in the USA and many other countries & the aggressive dominance of men & the eroding of women‘s rights world wide it is eerily reminiscent & scary,

It‘s late there‘s a fine 🤣so binge reading in the British spring sunshine ☀️ 😎

Yeah, I don‘t. Not anymore!
Clem is a brilliant Australian journalist, feminist and activist. I learn so much from her books and they are very amusing as well.

My friend is reading this one🤔.

Finally getting around to posting about the Newcastle Writer‘s Festival back in April. Right before I head to the Sydney Writer‘s Festival next wk. I learn so much at these fests & ❤️ using my 🧠 again. This lecture was called The Case Against Marriage. It‘s so fab to have a writer‘s festival in my home town. I went Sat & Sun & caught up with friends both days. My highlight was seeing Girl in a Pink Dress author, Kylie Needham twice.
