Abstract or Description

For almost a decade, Gabrielle Moser and Helena Reckitt have co-led intergenerational feminist groups focused on collective reading, writing, and research: the EMILIA-AMALIA Working Group in Toronto, Canada, and the Feminist Duration Reading Group in London, UK. Though they each have maintained independent curatorial practices, these groups have drawn the authors back, time and again, because of the opportunity they provide to curate—as well as read, write, and think—with others. In this short reflection the authors discuss their efforts to stop working as part of these groups, and their failures to step away. Identifying the benefits of thinking and curating with others, they explore the particular energies, practices, and urgencies of working within, and on behalf of, long-term feminist collectives.
