Reckoning

The Apology

Insecure At Last: A Political Memoir

In the Body of the World: A Memoir of Cancer and Connection

I Am an Emotional Creature: The Secret Lives of Girls Around the World

Necessary Targets: A Story of Women and War

The Good Body

Strongmen: Trump/ Modi/ Erdogan/ Duterte/ Putin

Anthology: A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant, and a Prayer

Roxane Gay:

Bad Feminist (I have a copy to loan)

Difficult Women (I have a copy to loan) *fiction

The Portable Feminist Reader

Graceful Burdens

Not That Bad

Hunger

Other Authors:

Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit (I have a copy to loan)

Big Girls Don't Cry by Rebecca Traister

Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine

We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (One of you has my copy of this already)

For fiction authors, I'm low-key obsessed with Alix E. Harrow. The Once and Future Witches is one of my top ten all-time fiction books.

If you have any other suggestions, let me know, and I will update this list!
