I always recommend Full Frontal Feminism and He’s a Stud, She’s a Slut…and 49 other double standards every woman should know because they are really informative and super easy to read. Then there’s Ain’t I a woman by bell hooks which is about black women and feminism and Whipping Girl by Julia Serano which I haven’t read but everyone is always recommending it to me.

Anyone else have suggestions when it comes to books?
