It’s Tuesday again so The Broke and the Bookish are hosting Top Ten Tuesday.
This week it’s Ten Books For Readers Who Like _________ as it was International Woman’s Day over the weekend I’ve decided to look at books with feminist messages (whether it’s because it has a strong female character, or because it’s a book written to do with feminism)
In no particular order…
How to Be a Woman- Caitlin Moran.
Feminist, and funny. Talks about lots of feminist issues but easy to read and not in your face.
How to Be a Heroine- Samantha EllisTalks about female heroines in books, very entertaining.
We Should All Be Feminists- Chimamanda Ngozi AdichieI read this a few weeks ago but haven’t reviewed it yet. It’s about being a feminist in Nigeria and the US, and why feminism is important. It’s a short book and I highly recommend it.
The Thursday Next Series- Jasper Fforde
Thursday is pretty awesome. she helps save not just one world but two!
His Dark Materials- Philip PullmanLyra is only a kid when she goes to save her friend Roger, but she doesn’t care about her age. She’s one powerful kid
Living Dolls- Natasha WalterAbout modern day sexism, very thought provoking. One of my most frequently recommended books.
