I’m putting this up late, but this is (hopefully) going to be a new feature on Feministe: A weekly review of all the posts we put up on the blog, with short descriptions if the titles are vague. I’m shooting for posting it every Sunday night, so that come Monday morning you can have a look at everything you might have missed over the course of the week (this week, obviously, is an exception to the Sunday posting). I think it’ll go nicely with Self-Promotion Sundays, where you can see what other bloggers have to say. And finally, I’ll open the comments on the Review posts specifically for stories that you think we and/or Feministe readers might be interested in, and hopefully we’ll get to writing about them the following week.
Also, I think we need a more catchy name than the Feministe Weekly Review. Suggestions?
So, for the week of May 27th – June 2nd, the Feministes posted:
