A GREAT BIG GIANT ASS LIST OF FEMINIST LIT. Being both a starter kit of sorts and a list of titles that are important to the history of feminism or current feminist movement.
Please note: The author of this post has not read everything suggested here but has compiled this list based on recommendations, academic courses, etc. Many of these texts are admittedly problematic, but are included because this feminist believes it’s important to know where we’ve come from in order to move forward.
Go forth and read! And feel free to add titles if you reblog!
