Best feminism books for a 13 year old?

[excitedemmi]

I know there's been a few threads on the best feminism books, but I just wanted to start a current one in case there's been any new suggestions since other threads. It is important to me to introduce my niece to feminism as, although I've always been vocal about being a feminist, I've never given her anything concrete to read or learn from. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Things a Bright Girl Can Do is a great novel for teens, set within the suffragette movement. There’s a lesbian relationship portrayed, but it’s not explicit - it was included in the Hampshire Book Awards list for Year 8 students and DD1 read and enjoyed it in Y7 and it’s also been popular with girls in Y9.

Thank you, just got it for my DD, only 99p on kindle

Bookmarking! I’d love to hear more suggestions, fiction and non-fiction.

These aren’t feminist books specifically, but are novels with strong female lead characters - Northern Lights series, and Wundersmith series. Wundersmith is essentially a Harry Potter rip off with a female lead.

DD enjoyed 'A History of Britain in 21 Women' by Jenni Murray. It's not written for younger readers but the language is accessible, and each chapter focuses on a different woman so it's a good one to dip into. (The section on Fanny Burney includes some quite graphic descriptions of early breast surgery so more sensitive readers might need pre-warning.)

I bought my daughter a book called 'Moxi' (can't remember who by) and she enjoyed it.

She's also read my 'Grumpy Guide to Radical Feminism' by Andreia Nobre, which has some clear explanations and pinched my copy of 'I hate men' by Pauline Hermange on a long train journey. They're both very humorous and accessible.

The Lie Tree by Frances Hardinge

Not a teen book, as such, but a good book which covers the feminist movement in UK.

Made in Dagenham film springs to mind also.

Moxie has just been made into a great film on Netflix too. Definitely recommend
