Maybe you are not familiar with the name Emma Watson, but you are sure to know Hermione Granger, the main character in Harry Potter. It is Watson who played the role of Hermione in all eight Harry Potter films, adapted from the bestselling book series by J. K. Rowling, from 2001 to 2011.
In September 2014, Watson, as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, gave a speech to start the UN Women campaign HeForShe, which fights for women equality.
In January 2016, Watson announced, on Facebook and Twitter, that she would be starting a club for females. Soon after, the book club, “Our Shared Shelf'', whose name was suggested by a fan, was formally set up on a popular book review website Goodreads.
In explaining the reason for starting this book club, Watson wrote on the website, “As part of my work with UN Women, I have started reading as many books and essays about equality as I can get. There is so much amazing stuff there! Funny, inspiring, sad, thought—provoking! I've been discovering so much……. I decided to start a book club, as l want to share what I'm learning and hear your thoughts too. The plan is to choose and read a book every month, and then discuss it during the month's last week.”
Our Shared Shelf has already discussed some famous books including Caitlin Moran's How to Be a Woman, Alice Walker's The Color Purple and Gloria Steinem's My Life on the Road. Watson told the group that she read Mom&Me&Mom. It is one of her favorites, so it will be the November's choice.
Now Our Shared Shelf has around l50, 000 members. Watson says everyone is welcome to join up.
