Feminist book recommendations?

It's tough to recommend stuff because we all access stuff differently and have different priorities... what counts as feminist is extremely varied and eclectic, which has been one of the main goals of feminist movements - to share the complexity of women's lives and negate the homogeneous representations of women as constructed bởi masculine systems.

So I'm not saying that you'll tình yêu these sách hoặc that they will help answer your questions. These are just sách that have helped introduce certain ideas hoặc challenge certain ways of thinking for me.

Non-fiction:
- 'Feminism Is For Everybody' bởi chuông, bell hooks
- 'Fat Is A Feminist Issue' bởi Susie Orbach (outdated, but still important)
- 'Bad Feminist' bởi Roxanne Gay
- 'The Beauty Myth' bởi Naomi Wolf
- 'The War Against Women' bởi Marilyn French
- 'SCUM Manifesto' bởi Valerie Solanas (this one is controversial and definitely NOT for everyone... its manifestation is extremely fraught and everyone reads it really differently and has really different responses to it... I recommend it to people because it in many places mirrors the things đã đưa ý kiến about women over the course of history, as well as capturing hatred in many forms... it is a complex read to digest...)

Fiction:
Anything bởi món ăn bơm xen, charlotte Perkins Gilman, Mary Shelley, Angela Carter and Carson McCullers, but these are really just my personal faves.

I haven't personally found any particular websites that I really like. For exploratory purposes, link and link could be helpful (they are a bit Buzzfeed-y, not that I am anti-Buzzfeed necessarily, but it just means that the các bài viết tend towards the reductionist). link also features some interesting articles, as does link. I tend to post các bài viết I find interesting (for a variety of reasons!) here as links, and the diễn đàn in this club has some interesting topics too.

Don't be shy to ask questions! I'm happy to try answer các câu hỏi as best I can hoặc suggest things to explore. Feminist thought is incredibly diverse and can be very difficult to navigate, especially as it is often counter to dominant thought. So if my suggestions don't tickle your fancy (or even if they do), perhaps try focusing your energies on a particular topic that is important to bạn (gender pay-gap, rape culture, mental illness etc) and explore sách etc on that topic, as this can contextualise feminist ways of thinking on the topic and help bạn access and engage with wider feminist arguments/thinking thêm broadly.
