Best Feminist Non Fiction Books To Read

This book is technically for anyone feeling burnt out, but Emily specifically goes out of her way to note many areas where women are either biologically or socially more likely to end up burned out, why many of these areas are sexist, and actually offers solutions for dealing with stressors and feelings of burnout in practical terms that you can actually implement the same day. I find it refreshing because it debunks the myth that we have to do it all with the science behind why we can’t, why it’s wrongly skewed towards women, and physical things you can do to control the feelings of anxiety you may get.

“It’s 2021, women are equal, right?” Nope. There are still many barriers, rules and loopholes that keep women from equity and equal opportunity. Kathryn believes we can fix these inequities.

Kathryn discusses education, research, teamwork and organization being the first steps in creating change. And finally, activism isn’t relegated to the famous, wealthy, politicians, celebrities. Kathryn shares how anyone can create change and tips to create teams—and change—together.

It’s an extraordinary story of how a singular group of women in a pivotal time and place – Paris, between the wars – fostered the birth of the Modernist movement. Sylvia Beach, Bryher, Natalie Barney, and Gertrude Stein. A trailblazing publisher; a patron of artists; a society hostess; a groundbreaking writer. They were all women who loved women. They rejected the patriarchy and made lives of their own – forming a community around them in Paris.

History often discounts the contributions of women and mothers. The Civil Rights Movements biggest icons—Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin—did not move our country forward alone; their politics and the lens through which they viewed the world and wanted better for it were all informed by the women who birthed and raised them. In this book, Alberta King, Louise Little, and Berdis Baldwin get their due recognition for the indelible mark they left on their sons. Tubbs shows the revolutionary love and radical politics of each woman and provides details about their lives that were once only family lore. These women faced discrimination and hurdles by a racist, patriarchal system and still found ways to support their families and build communities.

Women are expected to exude beauty and grace. However, in this Peterson’s book, she redefined what womanhood looks like today. Through the lives of eleven powerhouse celebrities, she gave a light of how these personalities have broken boundaries and defied the societal standards of being a woman. Peterson bravely unveiled the truth behind women who are too strong, too fat, too gross, too slutty, too old, too pregnant, too shrill, too queer, too loud, and too naked. Stigma is still present against these unruly women embracing and showing their indifference to the world. Through this book, it will teach you to see beyond cultural norms. Together with the stories of each woman in the book, Peterson’s words breathe transparency and genuineness. It will challenge your belief and reshape how you see women today. This book is a must-read for every individual who wants to see empowered, enabled, and strong women on the rise.

The book helped to cultivate the idea of ‘mansplaining’ and tuen first essay in the book shows us how some people do not believe that women can create anything that they may be able to. The entire book is so funny and aggravating at the same time, and will help to light a flame in you that you are powerful, and you can create and be who you want to be, and you do not need to be able to listen to men in order to be a success.

I am suggesting this book because Dr. Tankard empowers and educates women, promotes confidence and financial literacy while offering support to single mothers and victims of domestic violence. She believes that women can be millionaires in their own right, giving them more options and freedoms in their lives.

To say that author Anaïs Nin was a woman ahead of her times is an understatement. In the 1930s, she wrote extensively about sexuality, open marriage, same-sex attraction and abortion. Allegedly, she did not define herself as a feminist, but there’s no doubt in my mind that she stood up for women’s freedom and liberation and was away ahead of the crowd! For those not familiar with her work, I strongly recommend Henry and June: From A Journal of Love – The Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin (1931-1932), a memoir covering her affair with Henry Miller and her sexually charged friendship with Miller’s wife, June. The book is unapologetically erotic, smart and captivating.

This book focused on the experiences in society, sexuality, bodies, fears, relationships and lives of women. Characters of the story show different feelings such as love, obsession, revenge and isolation.

This is a bestseller of “Sunday Times”. No wonder it attracts the readers’ attention because of the story full of challenges and life full of art and love. A book that tells gender stereotypes and battle for entitlement.

An interesting nobel prize winning novel that touches the heart of every woman because of its story related to mental illness. An inspiring story that tells how a person struggles to live and to become strong even with mental health problems.

I am suggesting this book because one of the many things feminists do is work to bring rightful power over women’s bodies back to women. This book helps navigate perimenopause and menopause, something that has not been regularly discussed in our culture.
