Books on history and development of feminism

[youngerself]

Just that please - anything that anyone would recommend?

To understand the development of feminism and where it is going to go.

I was astonished on a thread recently with all the talk of carceral feminism and just felt ignorant so looking to address this

Or other resources that would be helpful

Thank you

They're not books on the history of feminism but The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir and Greer's The Female Eunuch are great.

Most of my reading is second wave, but almost all of the key texts address a history and context of women's movement.

The one that really influenced me was Backlash by Susan Faludi https://www.awesomebooks.com/book/9780701146436/backlash-the-undeclared-war-against-women/used

This - but a bit US focussed

This account of the Greenham Commoan movement is really useful and interesting: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000zcl0

Also fantastically useful is the Trouble and Strife Reader edited by Deborah Cameron and Joan Scanlon - it's essay from the T&S independant feminist magazine (80s to 2000s) and is full of prescient and excoriating insight https://www.troubleandstrife.org/ts-reader/

Thank you
It's been many years since I read Getmaine Greer's books

Seeing the podcast on BBC sounds, I may also try a search of Spotify as I listen to a good deal of podcasts
