Bookriot's 100 Must-Read Feminist Books

"I didn't want all of these feminist books to be heavily academic, so I did include a few fiction books that I feel illustrate women's experiences in feminist ways. The point here is to make the reader think in deeper ways about gender inequality and feminism – and I hope these titles help achieve this goal." - Nicole Froio
