About my feminist english speaking club
I have been being member of feminist english speaking club for more than a year. It was founded by my very close friend Harriet who arrived in Russia from the UK as an exchange student. She wanted to be not just a spectator, who has privileged position and judge about Russia from the point of western optics. She decided to become a part of political and cultural processes in the country and she made this club on the base of feministic space in Saint-Petersburg called "Eve's Ribbs". Harriet's project has never became just a neutral territory for a language skills training, but it turned into mix of speaking club, lectorium, discussion space and therapeutic group for women and men, who had traumatic experience being immersed into context of the russian patriarchate. This December Harriet visited Russia with her girlfriend, and she was very happy to see the club continuous to exist and becomes more and more popular among people of different genders and cultural backgrounds. Foreigners often visit this place, so we have possibilities of international discussions and, what is the most important, the chance to share experience of feministic movement in conditions of aggressive and fundamentalistic politics of russian government. I'm happy to be part of that nonconformist but very safe space.

About my feminist English speaking club
I have been being member of feminist English speaking club for more than a year. It was founded by my very close friend Harriet who arrived in Russia from the UK as an exchange student. She wanted to be, not just a spectator, who has a privileged position and judge about Russia from the point of western optics (from a Western view point). She decided to become a part of the political and cultural processes in the country and she made this club on the base of afeministic space in Saint-Petersburg called "Eve's Ribbs". Harriet's project has never became just a neutral territory for language skills training, but it turned into mix of speaking club, lecture hall, discussion space and therapeutic group for women and men, who had traumatic experiences being immersed into context of the Russian patriarchy.

Really good, minor errors where you don't use "a" or "the" correctly. Real nouns need to start with a capital, so English, Russian etc. continues rather than continious.
You have a tendency to use more complicated words than a native would, that is normally due to the Russian PhD education system which values obscure words over comprehension. Hence I simplified "lecture hall" for example. 95% of natives would not understand "lectorium". This becomes a challenge to you if you are doing a PhD as your teachers want you to use an isolated language.
