You Can’t Buy Love Like That by Carol E. Anderson

Leading up to the feminist movement, this memoir revisits the life of a tenacious young girl struggling with the reality of being a lesbian in the 60’s. While learning to embrace who she really is, the opportunity for her father’s acceptance deteriorates due to sudden tragedy. Carol must find it in herself to come out to her mother in this story of self, compassion and courage.

Her Body and Other Parties: Stories by Carmen Maria Machado

A collection of science fiction, fantasy and horror stories, Her Body and Other Parties breaks genre rules, bringing light to the realities of women’s lives and the violence inflicted on their bodies. Machado’s newest book is a must-read for any feminist who stands for the right to control one’s own body.

Feminist Fight Club: A Survival Manual for a Sexist Workplace by Jessica Bennett

This paperback re-release of the Wall Street Journal bestseller documents the meetings of a real-life fight club minus the men and the fighting, of course. From women who have experienced sexist-job frustrations, this read is filled with the invaluable strategies of how to tackle the incessant male presence in your office. The undeniable sense of camaraderie among women makes this a must-read for any feminist in today’s workforce.

Women Within by Anne Leigh Parrish
