If you watched the presidential debate this evening, or if you were on Facebook or Twitter, you probably heard about Mitt Romney’s ‘binders full of women’ remark<\/a>. \u00a0(Don’t worry, this has nothing to do with Mitt Romney.)<\/p>\n

Several friends and I had the idea to use this now-viral phrase to acknowledge the ways that women writers and\/or scholars have contributed to how we think, live, pastor, do theology, etc. \u00a0We’re asking folks to find a way to show some of the women that have formed you intellectually and to create your own binder\/box\/shelf\/other container. \u00a0\u00a0

As one of my co-conspirators said, let’s show the world what awesome women do. \u00a0And if you’re wondering why this matters, take a look at this alarming article on gendered\u00a0responses to women writing about religion<\/a>.<\/p>\n
