Welcome to /o/FeministEvents!
This circle is for sharing and discussing feminist or women-oriented events of all kinds, including local in-person events, online webinars, interactive calls, and livestreams. Post an upcoming event, let us know about an event you’re organizing, share your experience from an event you attended, or discuss ideas for a potential event.
Our goal is to share feminist events of all kinds, including global and local events, online and in-person, and to encourage and promote involvement in feminist causes and an understanding of current women's issues and women's history.
No health-oriented events, except those related to women's rights (menstruation, reproductive rights, harm due to only studying men, etc.).
If you want to share a local event, but don’t want to reveal your location, please DM a mod and we can post the event for you.
When posting an event, include the event name, location, date and time (with time zone), and cost, when applicable:
-
If local, add the location in brackets: Feminist Event [place name]
-
Include the date and time (with time zone): Feminist Event [date time (GMT)]
-
If not free, mention the price of event (fixed price or donation): Feminist Event [$5]
All feminist events are welcome, except those on health-related topics. Please be mindful of the Ovarit Sitewide Rules when discussing challenging or controversial content.
Articles about events that have already occurred should be posted in other circles.

Awesome! Wishing you all the best with your new career path. Fellow math lover here :)
When I went to college (for computer science), I knew coming in I was going to have to work extra hard to catch up with the other students (most at my university came from fancy private schools while I went to a pretty mediocre public high school). I made myself a promise to not ever compare myself with anyone else and instead just set achievable standards and goals for myself. I never ever asked other people what grades they got, and declined to answer when people asked me.
I tried to embody the quote from the dancer baryshnikov: “I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself.” I felt it did wonders for me because I was very focused on what I can do to achieve my goals instead of worrying about competing with classmates or feeling like I didn’t measure up. This helped me to hone my studying techniques and feel proud when I met my goals.
I am not sure if this is related or not, but I very rarely felt imposter syndrome, and when I did it was just fleeting and I quickly shut it down. I try to remember that errant self-deprecating thoughts are just thoughts and my own perceptions, which are not necessarily a reflection of reality. It’s good to remind yourself of that when you’re experiencing some negative thoughts, it helps put the trustworthiness of the thought into question.
Anyways, I hope that helped a little and I am sure you will do great! The fact that you had the courage to change your path is already a great start. Rooting for you!
I LOVE this response, thank you so much for sharing your perspective and experience. ❤️
