  7. In January 2016, Emma Watson started a feminist Goodreads book club: Our Shared Shelf. The goal of the club is to share feminist ideas and encourage discussion on the topic. One book is selected per month and is discussed in the last week of that month. The first book to be selected was My Life on the Roadby Gloria Steinem, who Emma Watson would later interview on 24 February at the How to: Academy in London.
