This is my Feminist Bookshelf (or rather, a stack of all my feministy books + my kindle). Last night I posted my list of feminist ebooks I’m reading through. There are frequently requests for feminist reading. So I thought it would make sense to compile a list (and update it occasionally) of all of the feminist-related books I’ve read/am reading. These are in absolutely no order. (I didn’t realize how giant the list was, so I am categorizing to make it easier to navigate & I realize many of these could fall into several categories). It’s the ebooks and the books I own in the photo (except for a couple that are borrowed) and books I read but had to return to the library. It’s lacking in some key areas: mostly the non-white, non-cis, non-hetero, non-UScentric variety. So I’m always open to suggestions. (Clearly I’m an avid reader).
