Feminist London - Day 6

Another fairly slow day today! Which is sometimes nice. We had a class discussion day, and had Finn McKay, the founder of the London Feminist Network. She was super nice and told us all about her organization, the activism work that it does, as well as a brief history of the modern UK feminist movement and how it's changed in the last 30 years or so.

After the talk we went out for delicious thai food and I somehow ended up going on a shopping spree with a bunch of the girls afterwards. (Seriously. I have no clue how this happened. I was walking with them, thinking that we were just going back to the hall and all of a sudden we're in an H&M.)

This happened later as I was trying to go to Regent's Park to do some studying and then caught up with people going grocery shopping - all of a sudden I'm carrying tons of groceries back to the hall.

Later some of us got together to watch the film Brick Lane, the story of a Bangladeshi woman's experience in London. We'll be visiting Brick Lane tomorrow after our tour of the London Women's Library, and I'm expecting some good food out of the visit!
