January is for recharging your batteries, reevaluating your life, returning gifts you don’t want — and for purchasing the cool feminist gifts people neglected to give you this year. A few suggestions, below:
In Case You’re Curious: Questions About Sex From Young People With Answers From the Experts.
Full disclosure: This is a book by Planned Parenthood…but that’s how you know it’s gonna be good! This would be the perfect gift for any curious kid, pre-teen, teen, or young adult with questions. And who among them doesn’t have questions about sex?
Who’s Your Feminism For? T-Shirt
A feminist t-shirt that’s intersectional — because if it’s not intersectional, who’s it for? This shirt is trans-inclusive, fat-positive, anti-racist, pro-choice, against classism, and challenges ableism. That’s a pretty good start, in our book!
Nevertheless She Persisted Puzzle
This puzzle by UncommonGoods (home of many cool and unusual gifts) features Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Gloria Steinem, and Amelia Earhart, among others. Spend a quiet, pensive night in with some of history’s most empowering women and their very inspiring quotes.
Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest Annual Dinner Ticket
Want to hob-nob with other amazing, smart, inspiring feminists in San Diego? Get a ticket or two for our 57thAnniversary Dinner, “Unstoppable”! It will be held on Thursday, March 12, 2020.
Art of Feminism: Images That Shaped the Fight for Equality, 1857-2017
An art book by Chronicle that visually traces the growth of feminism. It features over 350 works of art, graphic design, illustration, and photography. The perfect coffee table book for a feminist!
The Witches Are Coming, by Lindy West.
A wickedly funny cultural critique from the author of the acclaimed memoir and Hulu series, Shrill. It’s a book of wildly smart essays that expose misogyny in the #MeToo era, and it’s a great book to help you harness and articulate the, um, white-hot anger you might be feeling of late. Lindy is brilliant.
Planned Parenthood Swag
Our own Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest swag store has loads of empowering items for you to wear, carry, and drink out of. Pro-tip: Pick up something to wear to your local Women’s March on January 18!
