Writing and voices from outside of the white Western canon. Fiction and Non-fiction with an emphasis in diaspora, decolonization, global history, and resistance narratives from around the world. Features African, Asian, Central American, South American, Caribbean, and Middle Eastern voices.

Began with many recommendations from Jamin Anderson (@jaminanderson__ on Instagram) and has expanded with the help of the Pagebound community.

Candid divorce tales and healing journeys, from chronicles to intimate literary memoirs.

Books about oppressed women, both fiction and non-fiction.

Stories of strong and independent women. Non-fiction and fiction. Will add as I find more books or receive recommendations. Many of the fiction books will have elements of real women doing their best.
