Difficult Women Book Club: A safe space to discuss and explore the works of women writers


After falling in love with the concept of the book club, Yasmin went through the process to open a KL chapter.

It was the name – The Difficult Women Book Club – that first captivated her. And after finding out what the book club was about, Yasmin Zulhaime was sold on the idea. Not only did she become a member of the original book club based in Barcelona, Spain; she also started its Malaysian chapter last month.

"The Difficult Women Book Club was started by Linda Massi in Barcelona early this year. The idea was to gather book lovers together to discuss the work of women authors. A lot of women liked the idea and it started gaining a following on TikTok and soon, chapters mushroomed all over the world," explains Yasmin, 28.
