Can anybody recommend some good books to help me understand feminist theory please? I've had a look hoping for a stickied thread somewhere in the feminism section but I can't find one!
I think I probably lean towards radical feminism, but I feel a bit out of my depth with the threads, blogs and articles I come across online.
tia!

Hi OP

have you read anything so far? Wifework and Delusions of Gender come up on here a lot.

No, nothing yet. I haven't really known where to start! I've been reading threads on here for the last couple of years, and floundering down the wormhole of blogs and tumblrs and facebook pages.

I'll take a look at those two, thank you :)
