I was sent a copy of this book for review purposes and all thoughts are my own. This post features affiliate links
Remember the Illustrated Feminist journal and postcards I featured on the blog a few weeks ago? Well, Abrams & Chronicle have given me four copies of the book to give away for International Women’s Day!
2020 marks the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote in America and this new book by Aura Lewis highlights that particular landmark, and dozens of others, as well as detailing the lives of iconic women from the last hundred years.
Featuring empowering women such as Amelia Earhart, Kathryn Bigelow, and Wonder Woman, and life-changing campaigns including the legalization of contraception, The Equal Pay Act, and the Me Too movement, this book is a wonderful reminder of how far we’ve come in one hundred years.
It’s crazy to think that women have only been allowed to vote for the last hundred years, and that it has only been illegal for a husband to rape his wife for less than thirty years. We still have a long way to go. I wonder what the next century will bring?

The handmaid’s tale
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. No list of the best feminist books would be complete without a mention of Margaret Atwood’s masterful dystopia set in a future America where women are reduced to their reproductive usefulness.
Definitely. Such an important book, although I actually found The Testaments to be a more enjoyable read.
The Handmaid’s Tale , although Testaments is I’m my tar pile!
TBR pile that should read
