Ep 35 - The Feminist Movement with Annie Keown

This week on the podcast we have the amazing Annie Keown, not only Esther's sister but an expert in Social Justice. Annie is a passionate feminist who is studying towards her PhD in gender studies. Her honours paper looked into the genocide of indigenous women in Canada and the US and delved into New Zealand’s history to see if these same atrocities happened in New Zealand to indigenous Maori women.Annie is extremely knowledgeable in the history of the feminist movement and during this conversation we picked her brains to better understand the history of oppression against women and where we are today.Follow Femmi on IG - @femmi.coFollow Annie on IG - @annieroseqInstagram accounts to follow: Abortion funds, organising and resourcesSister Song (National Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective – USA): @sistersong_wocAbortion Funds (grassroots networking and ethical funding for abortion – USA): @abortionfundsMonica Raye Simpson (leader of Sister Song): @artivistmonicarayesimpsonForward Together (nonprofit organisation): @fwdtogetherUrge (reproductive justice, people of color-led organising, queer justice, youth – USA): @urge_orgFeminist, LGBTQ+, anti-racist and social justice activists to followAustralia and New Zealand Emmaline (Pacific women’s rights, Pasifika justice, anti-racism, Maori women’s rights):@ememmalineemNadia Bokody (feminism, women’s sexual empowerment, queer justice): @nadiabokodyThe Australian Feminists (feminism, intersectionality, indigenous rights): @theaustralianfeministsDisability, disabled justice and accessibility Imogen Fox (bodily autonomy, disabled justice, queer justice, accessibility):@thefeedingofthefoxRuby Allegra (trans rights and trans justice, disabled justice, queer justice): @rvbyallegraLGBTQ rights, trans and queer justiceALOK (queer and trans justice, gender politics): @alokvmenonTravis Alabanza (queer and trans justice, gender politics): @travisalabanzaMunroe Bergdorf (LGBTQ justice, LGBTQ rights): @munroebergdorfAnti-racism and racial justiceAmanda Jacobsen (grassroots community funding, anti-racism, feminism): @amander007Blair Imani (social justice and education, anti-racism): @blairimaniEricka Hart (sex education, anti-racism, queer and trans justice, black and indigenous rights):@iharterickaSelf-love, empowerment, fat activism and body liberation –The Fat Sex Therapist (self-love, empowerment, anti-racism and queer justice, sex therapy):@thefatsextherapistEmily Nagoski (sex education, feminism, sexual empowerment): @enagoskiMegan Jayne Crabbe (fat activism, feminism, anti-racism, self-love): @meganjaynecrabbeFeminism and social justice generalFeminist (feminism general): @feministLiberal Jane (feminist, queer, and intersectional artwork): @liberaljaneNasty Feminism (feminism, anti-racism, social justice): @nastyfeminismRecommended readings for learning more about feminism and social justiceKimberlé Crenshaw “Mapping the Margins: Intersectionality, Identity Politics, and Violence against women of Color"Bell Hooks “Ain’t I a Woman?”Daisy Hernández and Bushra Rehman “Colonize This!
