I recently visited Thorpe Hall Primary School in Walthamstow to launch Hockey Futures, a charity aiming to get more young people into hockey. Hockey was a big part of my life growing up and I am excited that the Hockey Women’s World Cup is going to be hosted in London, starting on TODAY! Good luck, England Hockey – I’ll be cheering you on!

Emma mocht voor Entertainment Weekly schrijfster Margret Atwood, schrijfster van ‘The Handmaidens Tale’ interviewen. Het boek was daarnaast gekozen als boek voor mei en juni van haar boekenclub Our Shared Shelf.

Many celebrities have book clubs, but none share the clout of Emma Watson’s “Our Shared Shelf,” which has picked up nearly 200,000 members since it launched on Goodreads in 2016. As Watson wrote when she made The Handmaid’s Tale her May/June selection, “It is a book that has never stopped fascinating readers because it articulates so vividly what it feels like for a woman to lose power over her own body.” Thanks to the recent Hulu series, Atwood’s 1985 dystopian novel has again soared to the top of the best-seller lists. Watson called up Atwood to discuss.

You were living in West Berlin when you wrote The Handmaid’s Tale in 1984; it was before the wall came down. Was being in a divided city a big influence on the novel or had you been thinking about it before you arrived in Berlin? I’d love to know how the novel came about.
I had been thinking about it before I’d arrived, and at that time — when I was in West Berlin—I also visited Czechoslovakia and East Germany and Poland. They weren’t revelations, because being as old as I am I knew about life behind the Iron Curtain, but it was very interesting to be right inside, to sense the atmosphere. East Germany was the most repressed, Czechoslovakia the second, and Poland was relatively wide open, which explains why Poland was where the Cold War wall first cracked. So it was very interesting to be there, but it wasn’t the primary inspiration.

What was the inspiration, if you don’t mind me asking?
There were three inspirations. First, what right wing people were already saying in 1980. They were saying the kinds of things they’re now doing, but at that time they didn’t have the power to do them. I believe that people who say those kinds of things will do those things if and when they get power: They’re not just funning around. So that was one of the inspirations. If you’re going to make women go back into the home, how are you going to do that? If America were to become a totalitarian state, what would that state look like? What would its aims be? What sort of excuse would it use for its atrocities? Because they all have an excuse of some kind. It would not be Communism in the United States; it would have undoubtedly been some sort of religious ideology—which it now is. By the way, that’s not an “anti religion” statement. Recently, someone said, “Religion doesn’t radicalize people, people radicalize religion.” So you can use any religion as an excuse for being repressive, and you can use any religion as an excuse for resisting repression; it works both ways, as it does in the book. So that was one set of inspirations.

Emma staat op #37 van Instyle’s lijst van ‘The Badass 50’, waarmee ze een overzicht maken van beroemheden die zeggen was ze denken en dingen voor elkaar krijgen 🙂

37. Emma Watson: The actress has consistently fought for women’s rights and education from the beginning of her career. As a United Nations Women Goodwill Ambassador, she introduced the world to the HeForShe campaign, which invites all genders to step up for equality, a mission she now continues through her work with Time’s Up.


Het boek dat Emma gaat lezen voor haar boekclub ‘Our Shared Shelf’ in juli en augustus is bekend. Dit zal het boek ‘ Milk and Honey.’ een gedichtenbundel van schrijfster Rupi Kaur zijn, deze is niet vertaald naar het nederland maar wel te koop bij bol.com.

Dear OSS Members,

I am excited to announce that July/August’s pick for Our Shared Shelf is our first poet, Rupi Kaur, and her book of poems Milk and Honey. Rupi Kaur is an Indian-born, Canadian-raised poet and artist. She chooses not to use upper case letters or punctuation in her poems as an ode to her native language, Punjabi. She travels the world, including recently to her native country India, performing her poems and drawing crowds of hundreds. Both of her books, Milk and Honey and The Sun and Her Flowers, have made the New York Times bestseller list, which for a poet, is astonishing.

Over my lifetime, I have fallen in and out of love with poetry. Performing poems was what got me into acting (I had a primary school teacher that made everyone learn one a week, and eventually I won a poetry recital competition!) In secondary school and at university, I loved deciphering the codes of poems in class discussion, but I honestly wondered if poetry would continue to feature in my life outside of an academic context.

Enter poets like Hollie McNish, Sabrina Mahfouz and Rupi Kaur- I demolished whole books in single sittings. Unlike poems I have often spent weeks unraveling, Rupi’s poems are not designed to obscure meaning or entertain too much ambiguity – they hit you like punches to the stomach. They are immediate, visceral and not easily digested. I am loathe to say Rupi has made poetry “accessible” because while this is the truth (Rupi’s poems and illustrations fit well into those famously square shaped Instagram frames), there is nothing easy or accessible about what Rupi chooses to talk about. In fact, the topics she chooses, are audacious.

Here is a 25-year-old girl saying the unsayable… to hundreds of thousands of people:
that she has been raped, that at times she has been abused, that she bleeds. And sin of all sins… she actually likes the hair that grows on her body. Yes. She actually thinks it is beautiful. And that she is beautiful as God made her – what a transgression. That her body is her home and nobody else’s.

The last chapter of Rupi’s book is called ‘The healing’. I am astounded to think what grew in the garden of her heartbreak. Her sharing, leadership and representation is so generous and brave. I will be forever grateful that she took subjects, that as a woman, I still carry shame about, and made them art. It took me an extra step forward and gave me new language.

All my love,
Emma


Emma en Chord zijn niet uit elkaar, het stel is samen weer gespot in L.A. Aangezien ze beide erg privé zijn over hun relatie is het maar de vraag of er daadwerkelijk een breuk is geweest. De papparazifoto’s zullen i.v.m. de privacy van Emma niet op de website gepost worden.

Nog geen maand na hun breuk zijn Emma Watson en Chord Overstreet weer samen gezien. Us Weekly spotte de 28-jarige Harry Potter-ster en de 29-jarige Glee-acteur zoenend in de straten van Los Angeles.

Het stel ging in mei uit elkaar, nadat ze vier maanden samen waren geweest. Emma en Chord houden hun relatie erg privé. In maart werden ze voor het eerst hand in hand gezien bij een feestje van Vanity Fair, terwijl ze toen al twee maanden een relatie hadden.Watson maakte in november na twee jaar een einde aan haar relatie met William Knight. Overstreet zou ondertussen hebben gedatet met Rumer Willis, Emma Roberts en Ashley Benson.


Emma Watson zou terug vrijgezel zijn. Na een relatie van zes maanden met acteur Chord Overstreet, die we vooral kennen als Sam Evans uit ‘Glee’, zouden de twee een punt gezet hebben achter hun relatie.

Emma Watson, die we leerden kennen als Hermoine Granger in Harry Potter, zou opnieuw vrijgezel zijn. Ze had de afgelopen zes maanden een relatie met Glee-acteur Chord Overstreet, die ze op enkele publieke verschijningen na verborgen wist te houden voor de media. Maar nu zouden ze uit elkaar gegaan zijn.

De twee werden voor het eerst samen gespot op de Vanity Fair-afterparty van de Oscars begin maart. Emma en Chord verlieten toen op hetzelfde moment het feestje. Camera’s konden vastleggen dat Emma een grote kostuumvest over haar schouders droeg, terwijl Chord op dat moment geen vest meer droeg. Bronnen bevestigden dat Emma inderdaad aan het daten was met de Glee-acteur.

Later die maand werden ze ook hand in hand gespot in de straten van Los Angeles. Emma en Chord zagen er gelukkig uit en vooral smoorverliefd. Maar Emma Watson maakte in het verleden al duidelijk dat ze haar privéleven en dan vooral haar relaties liever uit de schijnwerpers houdt. “Ik wil consequent zijn. Ik kan niet praten over mijn relatie in interviews en dan verwachten dat de paparazzi geen foto’s zullen maken van mij en m’n vriend. In Hollywood worden relaties al snel gelinkt aan filmpromoties als een soort van circusact. Ik wil absoluut geen deel uitmaken van een show of act.”
Breuk
De twee hielden hun relatie dan ook voor zichzelf. Maar nu zouden ze dus een punt gezet hebben achter hun relatie. Dit laat een bron weten aan de Britse tabloid The Sun. “Ze hebben veel tijd samen doorgebracht in Los Angeles, maar uiteindelijk werkte het niet”, klinkt het. “Ze zijn nu allebei opnieuw single.”

Emma volgt Chord niet langer op Instagram en Twitter, maar er is nog geen officiële bevestiging vanuit (de entourage van) het (ex-)koppel zelf.


Emma heeft via haar facebookaccount 3 exclusieve outtakes gedeeld van haar fotoshoot voor Vouge Australië met fotograaf Peter Lindberg die ze eerder dit jaar heeft gehad.

De boeken die Emma gaat lezen voor haar boekclub ‘Our Shared Shelf’ in mei en juni zijn bekend, want dit keer zijn het er twee! Dit zal het boek ‘ The Hate U Give’ van schrijfster TAngie Thomas zijn, vertaald naar het Nederland en o.a. te koop bij bol.com. En
‘Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America’s Shining Women’ door Kate Moore, deze is niet vertaald maar wel te koop bij bol.com.

Dear OSS Members:

This was such a fun poll to watch, full of twists and turns, like a good mystery novel. And you submitted some incredible book recommendations! In fact, we had such positive feedback and wonderful suggestions that we’re going to make the OSS Readers’ Choice a regular feature.

With two amazing books at the top that were so close in votes, we decided to declare double winners for May/June.

So, we are extremely excited to announce the first place winner: The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

Angie Thomas’ extraordinary debut novel, originally written for the YA market, carries a critically important and urgent message about how gun violence, racism and police brutality disproportionately affect communities of color. This ground-breaking book transcends any age bracket and we think it should be required reading for, well, everyone. With intelligence, heart and unflinching honesty, author Angie Thomas makes us laugh, cry and cheer, while 16 year-old Starr finds her voice and a way to fight the system. We’ve had our eye on this award-winner and were saving it for a future pick, but are thrilled that you beat us to it. As an added plus, for our global OSS family, the publisher tells us the book has been translated into over 20 languages.

Coming in a very close second, we are equally inspired to see that you selected: Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America’s Shining Women by Kate Moore

When Kate Moore found out that her book was in the running for OSS’s May/June selection, she gave us a shout out on Twitter. Don’t know if this boosted the vote, but we do know that this is a brilliant nonfiction book, so compellingly told, that it reads like fiction and deserves wide-spread attention. Sadly, the tragic stories here are true and as a recent news article stated “The Radium Girls – Still Glowing in Their Coffins.” Because of the way Kate Moore brings the science, personal stories and facts to light, we know what these unsuspecting women (as young as 16) endured. Their brave efforts fighting the US Radium Corporation to bring justice created milestones for modern occupational hazard law and reveal what we know today about radium’s effect on the human body.

So, please let us know what you’re planning to read. And we want you to know that we are continually astounded with the quality and depth of thought-provoking dialogue that you contribute to Our Shared Shelf. It makes us feel very proud to be part of building this wise and welcoming intersectional feminist community. Needless to say, we are really looking forward to the discussions around your May/June winners.

Love,

Team Our Shared Shelf x
