The Best Books About Feminism & Patriarchy

These are vast topic spaces, with myriad voices—many voices that have been culturally oppressed for millennia (i.e. women). I’ve tried to reflect a good range, though am always trying to read as widely as possible as feminism, in particular, was co-opted by white women.

Please, as always, drop recommendations in the comments, I am always all ears for recommendations. The link below will take you to a shelf I curated on Bookshop with my picks—I earn an affiliate commission there, but it is ALWAYS MY PREFERENCE that you shop at and support your local bookseller, so no pressure to buy via Bookshop. This is the easiest way for me to organize and keep picks updated. Happy reading!
