One Book Many Quests
Books in this list are in at least two quests. Thus helping to earn more badges. Books will span different genres. Once I scan through all the quests, I plan to further organize the list. I am thinking of creating a seperate list and moving the books with three or more quests to the new list and keeping the two badge books in this list. Are there other ways you would organize a list this big?

Female Health and Misogyny in Healthcare
A variety of books on female health, including educational books on the menstrual cycle, fertility, sex, pregnancy, and menopause. Where some books go deeper into endometriosis, PCOS and/or adenomyosis. As well as books covering the misogyny and discrimination within women’s healthcare currently and throughout history. The righteous feministic anger we feel towards the mistreatment, lack of research, and utter disrespect we face as women in medicine. Also cookbooks for those interested.

Non-Fiction: Gender, Feminism, Intersectionality
Different kinds of non-fiction books about gender, feminism, and related topics. People like black women or neurodivergent women are twice or more marginalised, and often it's not clear whether treatment was due to (for example) skin colour or perceived gender, so I'll add some books about other kinds of marginalisation as well. I haven't read all books (yet); if one is problematic, please tell me so in a comment!
Period Poverty and Menstrual Health
A balanced journey from activism and policy to personal health, exploring how access to menstrual products intersects with poverty, dignity, and rights.

Critical Theory and More: inspired by Louisa Munch
This list is dedicated for all the book recommended and mentioned by Louisa Munch - critical theorist. I follow her Instagram account almost from the very first videos. Louisa inspired me to organise better my political reading and she always gives some nice recommendations to inform yourself about the political landscape of today. I just wanted to have all the books in one place, plus the ones which I found on my own reading journey.
