28 Feminist Writers Recommend Books Every Man Should Read

The leaves turn, the air gets colder, and a publication devoted to men makes a list of "80 Books Every Man Should Read" that has just one female writer on it. It's just one slight in a list that's slanted towards the great white male literary perspective that's so common these days. Instead of getting mad, we here at Flavorwire wanted to counter that vibe by asking our favorite feminist writers what they think "every man should read." The results were funny, smart, and a true reflection of the complex lives that we all lead. Expand your mind, and find your next favorite book, below
