Books every feminists should read (October version)

"I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book." said J.K. Rowling,

Books are a real game changer that immaculately hurdles you into a state of self-reflection and completely revamps your personal perspective. Subsequently, in a gender inequality- stricken world, literature also takes accountability for getting people thinking about hot potatoes of equality, freedom of speech. In today’s blog, I round up some revolutionary feminist books that shape how you think about being a woman.


1. Dear Ijeawele: A Feminist Manifesto In Fifteen Suggestions

This is an immaculate place to begin with. If you've been bored to death with the tedious mass hysteria in some feminist novel, ‘Dear Ijeawele: A Feminist Manifesto In Fifteen Suggestions’ is a mellifluous singing that lulls you into the world of gender equality. Penned by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, this novel is synonymous with the heartfelt letter from Chimamanda to her daughter. With the vivid and simple storytelling, ‘Dear Ijeawele: A Feminist Manifesto In Fifteen Suggestions’ breezily broadens your horizon about feminism and empowers girls who are young and vunerable.

2. The Power

Inspired by the cult dystopian feminist worlds of predecessors, ‘The power’ is an electrifying tale told through multiple voices, a safe haven where women literally possess a strength and an exceptional ablity that reverse the cycle of society. With fast-paced and masterful storytelling, you'll pace through this one like there's no tomorrow, all the while posing questions how you'd harness your own inner power.


3. She Must Be Mad

Charly Cox interpers the plights, worries, thoughts and feelings of modern women into breezy short prose and poems that make you laugh, cry and come to terms with your own life. With delicate prose that unveils the reality of coming-of-age in an overwhelmingly honest and open personal tale, ‘She Must Be Mad’ pushes readers, especially mentially and physically drained women, to the frenzy of sentimental emotions.


All the books I recommended contain the multitude of life -changing pages that left their mark in the millions. Even though you are not a freaking bookworm, I firmly assert that these feminist books hold part in your heart. It's time to dust off your library card and get ready to be empowered.
