Hello everyone,
Susan Sontag died not long ago and now Betty Friedan.
Any reactions?
--Emmanuelle.

Welcome to the blog of the Graduate Group for Feminist Scholarship (GGFS).

GGFS is a network of graduate students at McGill University, Montréal, Canada, who are engaged in research in feminist, queer, sexuality, gender and women's studies. GGFS organizes reading groups, a speakerseries, workshops, and an annual symposium, in addition to being a politically active feminist presence in the campus community.

This is a virtual space for feminist dialogue. It's not intended to be a forum for proving the invalidity of the feminist project. So please respect the following rules of engagement -- posts and comments may be removed if they do not adhere to these three simple rules:

1. Be respectful of other contributors.
2. No racist-sexist-misogynistic-transphobic-homophobic-heterosexist-islamophobic-culturalist-ableist-or-other-such shit.
3. Go on anti-feminist tirades elsewhere; i.e., not here.
