Feminist T-Shirts

You can buy the feminist t-shirt above, here.

Sometimes we just need the world to know that "This is what a feminist looks like!", right? To fight for women's rights not just in our words and actions, but in our very clothing. If feminism is integral to our worldview, why should it not also be integral to our wardrobe?

Perhaps you've attended a Reclaim the Night march, or a Sl*twalk, and wondered in awe where the other participants had got their amazing feminist tees from. Perhaps at the next one, others will be wondering the same about yours!

From this page you will find links to some of the best and most creative feminist t-shirts available on the net.

If you know of any links I have missed out, please let me know in the guestbook comments area below. I want this to be a really comprehensive listing of feminist tees!

Feminism is, basically, a belief that women and men should be treated equally, and that traditionally, men have always had a better deal. This means that they should receive equal pay for equivalent work, they should have the same rights in law and private life, and they should have the same opportunities.

Wikipedia describes feminism as, "a collection of movements aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights and equal opportunities for women". There are many different types of feminism, and many different types of feminist, but an essential belief that women should be treated the same as men is at the core of all feminists' beliefs.

If you want to learn more about feminism, the internet is a great place to start. Scroll down to the 'Latest News from Feminist Blogs' section at the bottom of this page, and you will find updates from some of the top feminist websites in the world. Read along with a few, find those that resonate with you the most, and go from there.

So, you've read enough feminist blog posts now to know that you are without a doubt a firm feminist, but you want to start reading about issues more in depth than you have been able to by looking at blogs. Like much of the internet, the very nature of blogs means that a lot of subjects are touched upon, but few go into the depth that a good 300 page paperback does. So if, through reading the blogs above, have decided that you are desperate to find out more about reproductive justice, or fighting violence against women, or how to work for equal pay or better maternity leave, this is where a book comes in.

There are many feminist books available, both old and new, and seeing as you've already spent some of your hard-earned cash on that awesome feminist t-shirt, why not spend a little more on a pile of books too? Reading pure feminism for chapter after chapter, you feel enlightened and fired up every time you come up for air. It's one of the joys of being motivated by a passionate writer!
