Experts Tell Us the Best Feminist Books For Teens

Why? In the late 80s, before girl power was fashionable, Tamora Pierce was writing stories for strong women who wanted to grow up and be knights, not princesses. Alanna is a fabulous example of a coming-of-age story, with a twist – to be taken seriously as a knight, Alanna must pretend to be male. What makes this story a feminist masterpiece is the struggle of womanhood for Alanna and her fate to accept its reality – will she be gracefully accepted, or heinously exposed as a traitor?

This book is a collection of essays about my life, observations about the world, and some of the people who have influenced me the most. Finding our true selves is a lifelong journey. Figuring out the difference between who I am compared to the person others perceive me to be, that has been an epic struggle. My intention for this book is to help others on their journey of self-discovery, so they can make their big impact on the world instead of the world just making its mark on them.

Her father’s suicide seemed to be a morbid ending to Jacqui Olliver’s teenage years of isolation, loneliness and not feeling wanted.

Emotional and intimacy issues which contaminate relationships are solved in this book along with a proven strategy for enhancing all aspects of personal connection.

The most classic feminist textbook I ever have read. It is also far more accessible than I had imagined. If you’re searching for a historical introduction to the negative structures of beauty in society, this book is perfect for you. I recommend reading it and making up your own opinion, but most of the time it’s quite impartial and considers both sides of the argument. I would highly recommend this book to every young feminist.

This should be a must read for students. At the risk of sounding a bit preachy I would recommend young students to read this book. This book is full of how to start a revolution. The book guide on how to influence the hearts and minds of your fellow students. I am seriously feeling such books should have been around when I was in school.
