The reading wish list for all Feminists who want to better all

The reading wish list for all Feminists who want to better all 

1)Tiny Beautiful Things (Advice on Love and Life From Dear Sugar)by Cheryl Strayed:
This book is relevant to all readers.This is real life advice from columnist Cheryl Strayed, better know as Sugar.Sugar gives her most genuine ,heart felt, personal driven sought out advice.Her advice is probably better than you can get from all your friends combined.I myself have read more than half her book  and can say that it is the best advice column writing I have read.She gives advice to all,the economic troubled,perplexed sex oriented,the betrayed,confused,abused and more.I have to constantly stop and take notes because it is too good not to consider.A combination of revelations better than the Bible and Cosmo combined.

2)Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay
This best seller comes to age and projects the role of women and society.It analyzes our very customer driven society and the implication of women along the lines.She is the modern feminist who can come to terms and digest the idea that  women can still much be into fashion and be feminists.She takes down on popular culture and its beliefs about women and society such as The Hunger Games and The Help.A must read for all feminist of the modern era.
"Gay playfully crosses the borders between pop culture and the critic,between serious academic and lighthearted sister-girl,between despair and optimism,between good and bad."-Melissa Harris-Perry,Wake Forest professor

3)The Essential Ellen Willis edited by Nora Willis
From her personal essays from topics like pornography music,religion,feminism,war,and drugs and so much more.Her work dating back to as early as the 1960s' and late as 2000s' is relevant to today's social,political society.Her personal essays are introduced by authors contemporary  to her work ,whom  admire her work.For those who want to better their perspectives on such subjects that afflict our country.This unpublished work will re-awake the activist in you, to care for and fight for your rights as a feminist.

"It’s incredible that decades after it first made waves, Ellen Willis’s writing is still as relevant as ever. From abortion and parenting to music and politics, Willis’s cultural critiques stand the test of time and fascinate over and again.
 The Essential Ellen Willis reinvigorated me and reminded me why I do the work that I do. It should be required reading for anyone interested in feminism, politics, and everything in between!" —Jessica Valenti

4)Out of the Vinyl Deeps:Erin Willis on Rock Music
What better take on feminism than a topic that has been dominated by the male voice.Erin Willis criticism of rock music ,was greatly in part of her time.The counter couture where everything that manifested was a contradiction of what was believed. She female pioneer of the art that was over shadowed by the work of such critics like Lester Bangs.Her work forgotten when she quit in the 80s' , because the music was no longer politically endeavoring.A pioneer of a field that is often seen as men's work here's the take on from a woman that did it even better!
