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...


Post-apocalyptic and brings in traditional Greek drama.

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.

Once again, I'm thrilled to read and review a new John David Anderson middle grade novel - even in the craziness that accompanies the end of a school year! About the Book (from the publisher) From the first moment Morgan can remember, Claire has always been there. Big sister and little brother. Cat and Mouse. They’ve always understood each other, saved each other, seen each other. And they stuck to their own personal code, unwritten but understood, that siblings were inseparable, that they had each other’s backs, no matter what. At least, they used to.
