I've finally got round to buying Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex and I'm looking forward to reading it. It's a hefty tome and will take some time.
What other books should I have on my list for broadening my feminist knowledge? I'm fairly new to feminism compared to the very knowledgable posters on here but since joining about two years ago I've found my eyes opening to the everyday sexism women experience and how much fucking shit I put up with from men in my younger days. Women too. My mum has some very outdated sexist ideas that I challenge regularly. She still hopes I'll marry a doctor one day
despite me being happily single.
I read Susie Orbach's Fat is a Feminist Issue back in the 90s at uni but nothing else.
This board has me scowling at novels and films in general with all the sexist crap in them. Once you have your eyes opened...
Apologies if there's already a thread on books but if not please could we have this thread for recommendations?
