Feminist Lit Suggestions From My Twitter Pals

By -

I decided to toss a quick question out there to my Nerdy Book Club and Feminist friends on Twitter. I wanted to make my "should have read in school" book for the Pop Sugar Challenge be something feminist... maybe something that I just can't believe I missed along the way.

 Just in case you want to use some of these, I've also indicated other categories in which they could fit. 




Never fear - my amazingly literate colleagues on Twitter gave me so many from which to choose!




Lee Ann says this is a science fiction choice - that sounds right up my alley! 


** I can add this in and count it for the "title has a color" category!**  






** Second Sex was originally in French, so this one can also count in that category ** 


If you'd like some of MY feminist recommendations...

I'm so excited to be part of the blog tour for Just Harriet - by Elana K. Arnold!

This past week she held the inaugural session, with a  "summer reading"  focus. Let us know what you think!  Parent Book Club - Summer Reading Sometimes your best ideas come to you in a flash.  That is how it was with the parents’ book club.  One afternoon I was sharing a title with a parent volunteer and she ended up checking the book out of the library. Nothing unusual. This happens frequently to all of us when we booktalk.  What was different was that when the parent returned the book she made the remark that I should share this book with everyone. You have probably guessed by now that the book was Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Through the year I have shared many other great titles –many of them discovered through my PLN on Twitter.
