FEMINIST SPICE CLUB^TM

What is the Feminist Spice Club?

1. The name of a DESIGNATION granted to romance stories written from a feminist point of view. FEMINIST SPICE CLUB^TM stories don’t rely on narratives that demean or demoralize women generally or sexually, and don’t promote gender-biased stereotypes within their story. The FEMINIST SPICE CLUB designation rewards authors who create empowered and sexually confident female characters and helps feminist readers find the kinds of stories they prefer. (More information on the Designation and how to get it below.)
   
2. A CONVERSATION. Feminists shouldn’t have to feel guilty about what they read! We inspire the feminist romance sub-genre, and spread the word about smart, strong, and sexy female literary role models using #feministspiceclub on Twitter and TikTok
   
3. A COMMUNITY of feminist authors and readers of spicy romance books, who crave great stories that empower women. We discuss the current state of the genre, share our favorite examples, and influence change. Join our Facebook Group!
