The Furies: Women, Vengeance, and Justice by Elizabeth Flock
4.5
amazingly written! women’s anger is something never written on but how do people expect women to live in this world and not want revenge? cicek’s story i think is one of the things that will stick with me for a long time

beautiful book hearing older lesbian’s experiences makes me so emotional.
“My love for women has never diminished. They still make my blood tingle or my heart ache.”

The Female Eunuch by Germaine Greer
3.0
not my favourite ever, had some deeply questionable parts but some chapters were extremely good. i can see why this is a staple of feminist theory as it is quite tame compared to others.
Perfume & Pain by Anna Dorn
4.0
lesbians who hate the word queer representation 😍. any woman who calls themselves a fag hag though needs deep therapy, strange book but i love odd little lesbians.
Bitch: A Revolutionary Guide to Sex, Evolution and the Female Animal by Lucy Cooke

Life and Death by Andrea Dworkin
5.0
dworkin’s best essay collection, this made me so deeply emotional. her writing has a way of eliciting my emotions so painfully.
“When men use women in prostitution, they are expressing a pure hatred for the female body. It is as pure as anything on this earth ever is or ever has been. It is a contempt so deep,so deep, that a whole human life is reduced to a few sexual orifices, and he can do anything he wants.”
