Are you part of a book club? Does your workplace have the perfect water cooler opportunity for feminist chats? Maybe you want to disrupt family dinner?!

Below are a few suggested questions to stimulate discussions and help make the issues raised in this book more relatable to your own life and perspectives.

Book Club Questions 

1. What does the idea of a “feminist nation” mean to you, and how does this collection challenge or expand that understanding?

Consider the different dimensions presented in the book — political, social, economic, cultural — and reflect on which feel most urgent or overlooked.

2. Which voices or experiences or facts in the book felt most powerful or surprising, and why?

3. How did the inclusion of lived experience, professional insight, and political analysis shape your engagement with the themes?

4. Across the chapters, where do you see the biggest gap between Scotland’s feminist aspirations and its current realities?

5. Which examples stood out to you? What barriers appear most resistant to change (societal, structural, cultural, political)?

6. Several chapters emphasise intersectionality — class, race, disability, gender, migration, sexuality. How well do you think Scotland is addressing these intersections today?

Where do you see progress? Where do you see stagnation or regression?

7. If Scotland were to take one bold, transformative step toward becoming a feminist nation in the next five years, what should it be?

8. The book argues that building a feminist nation requires “all voices,” not just some. Do you think there are any voices that are missing within discourse in Scotland? If so, which voices? How might they be better included?
