I have a huge general reading list, and there is a genre of "women's studies" in there.

For starters, I need to finish the last chapter of Right-Wing Women! I had started that as a bookclub on Ovarit and then I got busy and never got to the last chapter. 🥲 It's so quotable.

Then I have this collection of books that I want to get to:

The Creation of Patriarchy by Gerda Lerner
A Brief History of Misogyny by Jack Holland
Invisible Women by Caroline Criado-Perez
All About Love by bell hooks
We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

They're all waiting to be read. 🥲

Do you have any women's studies books you want to read?

* When God Was A Woman by Merlin Stone
* Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde
* Marxism and the Oppression of women by Lisa Vogel
* All in Her Head by Elizabeth Comen

"Invisible Women" is literally the next thing I'm reading when I finish a current book. I've read excerpts and I read Caroline's substack here and there, but I want to read the book beginning to end.

Hey, Ive read a couple of the books mentioned here and have a few others on my list as well!

I'm reading Beyond the Periphery of the Skin by Silvia Federici as part of the book club on Ovarit.
I've read some of Invisible Women and need to finish it.
Right Wing Women is also on my list, as is The Creation of Patriarchy.
I'm interested in reading some of Mary Daly's work and some of Sonia Johnson's as well.

I just recently quit school so I'm finally rekindling my motivation to read for pleasure. I've mostly been consuming a lot of thriller/mysteries for the time being, I tend to get seasonal depression and sometimes the monumental task of women's liberation gets me down and discouraged.

On the topic of books, I find I try to spend my money and attention on female authors and if I really want to read something by a man, I try to get it used or at the local library. It's funny how I rarely read anything by a male author anymore.

ETA: On the Meaning of Sex: Thoughts about the New Definition of Woman by Kajsa Ekis Ekman was very good, obviously that one is on the topic of trans ideology from a gender critical standpoint.

ShameMustChangeSides, I love that you chose that as a username.

"Right WIng Women" is another one I want to read, because I'm hoping it'll help me understand those women more and not be as knee-jerk hostile as I can sometimes be.

I started reading Hags! :) Really enjoying it so far. I also need to read Right-Wing Women!

Not sure if they count as specifically feminist books, but I really enjoyed Cordelia Fine's Delusions of Gender and Testosterone Rex. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in exploring the so-called "scientific explanations" for gender and debunking the "biological/scientific" justifications for sexism.
