The other day I have an interesting conversation with @amberthebooklion @athenasdragon and @princessofbadassery about this type of readings so here I am with a bunch of suggestions!

Men Explains Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit:  The book is a collection of seven essays and, according to its publisher, "has become a touchstone of the feminist movement”. Some of the essays are “Men Explain things to me“ (2008), “The Longest War“ (2013), “Grandmother Spider“ (2014) and “#YesAllWomen: Feminist Rewrite the Story“ (2014).

Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong-and the New Research That's Rewriting the Story by Angela Saini:  What science has gotten so shamefully wrong about women, and the fight, by both female and male scientists, to rewrite what we thought we knew.

Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay: explores being a feminist while loving things that could seem at odds with feminist ideology. Gay's essays engage pop culture and her personal experiences, covering topics such as the Sweet Valley High series, Django Unchained

Gender Outlaw by Kate Bornstein: this particular coming-of-age story is also a provocative investigation into our notions of male and female, from a self-described nonbinary transfeminine diesel femme dyke who never stops questioning our cultural assumptions.

Women and Power by Mary Beard:  With wry wit, she revisits the gender agenda and shows how history has treated powerful women. Her examples range from the classical world to the modern day, from Medusa and Athena to Theresa May and Hillary Clinton.

Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions by Chimamanda Ngozy Adiche: A few years ago, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie received a letter from a childhood friend, a new mother who wanted to know how to raise her baby girl to be a feminist. This is her response.

Morder la manzana: La revolución será feminista o no será by Leticia Dolera: I don’t know if this books is available in English or in other languages than Spanish and Catalan but it’s really interesting with a bit of feminism’s history, gender problems, religion, gender violence... 

The essentials

The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir
