As I look for books to read this summer I realized I have read far fewer books by female authors than I have by male authors and while the male authors are brilliant our roughly 50:50 ratio in the population means there are an equal number of brilliant female authors that I have not read. And that's not ok. So I found this list that seems promising and has an entertaining introduction. Clearly it is not a comprehensive list but if you would like to jump in and explore some female authors with me this seems like a good place to start. (I do NOT recommend starting with the Wharton book. She is an acquired taste).
I say all of this because I firmly believe that feminism was not a movement in the fifties it is an ongoing struggle that is put on every person alive and in particular every woman is responsible for driving it forward. And as a disclaimer, a feminist does not seek to push all men down but seeks to bolster all women up.
And men can be feminists too. :)
