Inspired by a few other threads, I want to broaden my reading material (to go with gin). If you wanted to recommend one feminist book off your shelf that gave you the "aha" moment, what would it be?

I am currently working my way through "Invisible women", but it's slow going as I have to frequently stop and rant at DH about the topics it brings up.

Not exactly an 'aha' moment, but I'm currently reading a great joint biography of mother and daughter Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley, 'Romantic Outlaws' by Charlotte Gordon, for a bit of early feminist history.

Get the books on audio if possible and use the frustration to motivate you while exercising. 🙂
