Bitchreads Nonfiction Books Fall 2018

The world is fucked up right now. I mean, it's been fucked up for a long time, but that reality is perhaps more palpable now than it has ever been. Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court despite credible allegations of both sexual assault and perjury; hundreds of migrant children are still separated from their parents, months after a court ordered the Trump administration to reunite them; and every day, we wake up to find a new horror unfolding. In tumultuous political and social times, I turn to nonfiction books. And right now, reading a history of women's anger, an examination of China's nascent feminist movement, and a biography of one of America's greatest playwrights among other new releases, reminds me that marginalized people come from a resilient history. We will not be moved.
