Women accomplish amazing things when we support each other.

When a woman helps another woman, they both benefit. And when women celebrate one another’s accomplishments, we’re all lifted up. Together women can do more, go further, and change the world.

Let’s #LeanInTogether.


Emma heeft in een bericht op het forum van haar boekenclub ‘Our Shared Shelf’ laten weten het anders te gaan aanpakken vanaf juni. Elke twee maanden zal er nu een boek gelezen worden zodat men de tijd heeft om deze te kopen/lenen en ook te lezen. Daarnaast roept te leden om met een voorstel te komen voor het komende boek voor de maanden juli/augustus.

Dear Our Shared Shelf,

Some announcements!

First, after careful consideration I’ve decided to make books bi-monthly to give people enough time to borrow/buy, read and discuss each book (I hope this gives everyone some extra breathing space. For eager beavers and keen beans I might add a few extra things to look at when a new book is posted.

Second ! For the first time………….. I want YOU to decide what we read over July/August so I’ve set up a poll. I’ve added some ideas to get you going but I’d love to see your suggestions too if you feel strongly. I can’t wait to see what you all pick!

Love,

Emma x

Het boek dat Emma gaat lezen voor haar boekclub ‘Our Shared Shelf’ in juni is bekend. Dit zal het boek ‘ Persepolis’ van schrijfster Marjane Satrapi zijn. Dit boek is wel vertaald naar het Nederlands onder dezelfde naam en o.a. te koop bij bol.com.

Dear Our Shared Shelf,

Our next book will be Persepolis, a graphic novel that serves as the memoir of the author, Marjane Satrapi. It’s about a bold and brave young woman and her experiences in 1980s Iran.

Persepolis was first published in French in 2003 and like Art Spiegelman’s Maus (which was about the Holocaust and was the first graphic novel to win the Pulitzer Prize) is now widely considered a classic of the graphic novel form.

Satrapi grew up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution and its aftermath; Persepolis is the story of her childhood. Through Marji’s youthful (though not-always-innocent) eyes and mind, we see a turbulent moment in history unfold, and we witness the tremendous impact that local and global events and politics can have on even the most intimate moments of personal lives. We experience with Marji her day-to-day dreams and struggles, from family strife to wrestling with religious faith and custom. We’re swept up in her parents’ anxieties and her grandmother’s memories of an utterly different era. And we get a very real sense of what it was like to be a woman in Iran during this intense time of cultural and political transition.

As Iran enters another important period of change, with relations re-opening with much of the world, I think this is a particularly good time to pick up Persepolis. Satrapi’s deceptively simple, almost whimsical drawings belie the seriousness and rich complexity of her story–but it’s also very funny too.

I’m excited to hear what you think.

Love,

Het tweede boek dat Emma gaat lezen voor haar boekclub ‘Our Shared Shelf’ is bekend. Dit zal het boek ‘The Argonauts’ van schrijfster Maggie Nelson zijn. Dit boek is niet vertaald naar het Nederlands, maar wel te koop bij bol.com.

Dear OSS,

I’ve been searching high and low for our next book. The club has been much more international than I had anticipated – and much bigger. I’m really proud of my club members – discussion-wise – you are all hitting it out of the park. I’m having to find books that are accessible, cover multiple perspectives and languages, that are unique and not too well known already… So without further ado…

Our next book is going to be The Argonauts, by Maggie Nelson. The story is about the author’s relationship with artist Harry Dodge, who is fluidly gendered. It’s about their romance, the birth of their son, the death of Harry’s mother and their changing bodies, as Maggie becomes pregnant and Harry undergoes surgery, but it’s also about inclusion and the powers and shortfalls of language. It might require a bit of work but The Argonauts rewards us with an expansive way of considering identity, caretaking, and freedom—along with a liberation from, what Maggie calls, “the demand that anyone live a life that’s all one thing.” I am excited to read this book with you. Maybe it will change the way we think and speak about others and ourselves?

Hope I did you proud,
Em Wats X


Het vierde boek dat Emma gaat lezen voor haar boekclub ‘Our Shared Shelf’ is bekend. Dit zal het boek ‘ How To Be a Woman’ van schrijfster Caitlin Moran zijn. Dit boek is wel vertaald naar het Nederlands onder de naam ‘Vrouw zijn, hoe doe je dat’ en o.a. te koop bij bol.com.

Dear OSS,

This month I am choosing a book which I confess I have already read. It is so brilliant though. It deserves to be read more than once.

Maybe you read Caitlin’s article in my Esquire guest edit this month (“12 Things About Being A Woman That Women Won’t Tell You”)… Maybe you’ve seen some of the hype about her new book Moranifesto… Either way, she is an English hero of mine who I think you need to know. On a side note, this book also appears to have been translated into lots of languages and should be reasonably easy to get hold of.

You’ve probably guessed it by now, April’s book (for a little light relief) is ‘How to Be a Woman.’ I read it on a plane from London to New York and I laughed out loud and cried so much I think the whole of my cabin, airline staff included, thought I was losing my mind. (For speedy readers out there, I am also going to read Moranifesto).

Love,
Emma xx

Het tweede boek dat Emma gaat lezen voor haar boekclub ‘Our Shared Shelf’ is bekend. Dit zal het boek ‘All About Love: New Visions’ van schrijfster Bell Hooks. Dit boek is niet vertaald naar het Nederlands, maar wel te koop bij bol.com.

This month’s book choice is in honor of bell hooks who interviewed me for Paper magazine this month. Maya Angelou said of bell’s work, “Each offering from bell hooks is a major event, she has so much to give us’. I love hearing from bell, I am pretty excited to start “All About Love: New Visions”. It’s been on my list for a while.

Het tweede boek dat Emma gaat lezen voor haar boekclub ‘Our Shared Shelf’ is bekend. Dit zal het boek ‘The Color Purple’ van schrijfster Alice Walker. Dit boek is wel vertaald naar het Nederlands en o.a. te koop bij bol.com.

Just an FYI – the books I am suggesting I haven’t read myself. I am learning and reading for the first time with you. I am trying to choose works that cover as much ground as possible and are diverse… I’ve heard amazing things about this book from a person that I trust… The musical is currently on Broadway (starring Cynthia Erivo, Jennifer Hudson and Danielle Brooks) and a film was made of the book in 1985 by Steven Spielberg. It was Oprah Winfrey’s film debut and introduced Whoopi Goldberg (I love both of these women). I’m excited to read it and maybe do some watching too.

Love,
E xx


Emma zal schrijfster Gloria Steinem op 24 februari mogen interviewen tijdens de How to: Academy in Londen. Voor haar online boekenclub leest ze momenteel één van Gloria’s boeken. Ze hoopt dan deelnemers van haar boekenclub vragen zullen posten die ze zou kunnen stellen, en dat ze een video van het interview online kan posten.

I am so excited to FINALLY be able to tell you my secret! It will be me interviewing Gloria on stage in London at the How to: Academy on the 24th of February. There aren’t many tickets left but here is the link – http://www.howtoacademy.com/courses/a…. My plan is to upload a video of the entire event onto Our Shared Shelf.
