Books recommendations - women / GC authors

[CookieMumsters]

Can anyone recommend some good books by women, or gender critical authors?

Not necessarily looking for books about feminism, but any genre. I generally like easy reads / happy stories, and don't like too much waffle.

The end of the world is flat by Simon Edge is a hoot.

Thanks @Hoping4second It looks good.

I also found Ben Elton recommended when I googled Simon Edge, can anyone recommend?

I second this recommendation! It's a brilliant satire about the trans infiltration of society. I saw it recommended by many of my GC friends on FB and so I read it.

Using the all-too-obvious analogy of flat-earthism (globularism), the story is about how a ludicrous, reality-defying concept can infiltrate society.

It's got everything: the banning of words ("global"), the cancellation of "globularists", Twitter campaigns to capture millennials, institutions and companies being awarded badges for compliance, and a billionaire puppetmaster behind it all.

The book is dedicated to five women: "For Allison, Gillian, Julie, Marion, Maya and Rachel. Heretical globularists all"

I know who they all are except Gillian, though a famous GC Gillian is on the tip of my tongue.

I should have mentioned the title once again: The Edge of the World is Flat, by Simon Edge.

Here is the Goodreads page with a few reviews.

If you need any children’s books, Onjali Raúf has just received an MBE for services to literature and women’s rights.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Ben Elton is highly recommended, his stories are very well written, funny, and dont seem to age like some fiction does; but they don't fit the easy reads / happy stories requirement. I can't really think of any feminist books that do.

The Gillian mentioned in the dedication is probably Gillian Philip- children’s author. She was cancelled for heresy.
