Recs if you like Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty...

Because apparently women’s bodies are still elective in Science 101! Non-Fiction all about women's (all variations) health and the lack of research behind it.

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that go past the July start date and match at least one of these title prompts: Periodic Table, Familial Terms, Rainbow of Words (also Joseph's coat), Numerical Titles, Titular Counting 5+, Pun in the Title, and First & Last Name in the Title. Recommendations welcome!

Please let me know if I’ve missed anything, you have recommendations, or anything should be removed!

history you probably didn't learn in school

Books about sexual & reproductive justice + health. Including abortion, contraception, pregnancy, childbirth, kink, sexuality, STIs, and more. The term reproductive justice is from SisterSong and is inherently an intersectional, political, and affirming framework. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled perspectives highlighted.

Essential writings from Black feminists.

This reading guide aims to be a beginner to advanced composition of books within the genre of women/gender (+ LGBTQ -/ basically anything that doesn’t center the experiences of cis-men).

Expect to find titles including but not limited to the scopes of mental health, wellness/psych, disability, & illness in the Global South too!

Key texts in Caribbean and Black/feminist thought.

“Men should be grateful that we only want equality, not revenge.” But maybe we should? We are not angry enough. This is a list of nonfiction books on feminism.

These books try to get to the root of what pain is and where it comes from and how humans have tried to treat it. From chronic illness, disability to medication. Nonfiction regarding health, women's health, mental health, painkillers, opium, the body and autoimmune diseases. This list is NOT about finding healing (since that is a very individual journey) but how to be seen and understood and how to find the words to describe pain and sickness.

Non-fiction reads to help you diversify your feminism. Growth is a never-ending journey and we all have biases to overcome. Don't stop learning!
