All the lesbian books I can find
All the lesbians books I can find. If you have any book you want me to add please comment β€οΈ






itβs complicated: mother-child relationships
Fiction & nonfiction books that explore the complexities and traumas of mother-child relationships or in which such relationships play a central role. While many books on this list are what Iβd classify as including βmommy issuesβ there are others that are more about the different perspectives and nuances of the mother-child (often specifically mother-daughter) relationship. Some books center the child, some the mother, some both.
Suggestions are welcome.

Women's Memoirs and (Auto)biographies
I have been collecting (and reading) a long list of memoirs, autobiographies and biographies about women who had fascinating lives. I thought I might as well make it a list! A lot of them I have read and enjoyed, some are from my TBR. I am especially fascinated by 18th-19th century women's stories, so there will be a lot of those. And women from diverse backgrounds. Open to suggestions!






religious guilt + queerness = this list
Because of the lesbian ex-tradCath that I am, here's a list of mostly fiction books uniting Christianity in its various forms with queerness, where both are large themes. Disclaimer: I have not read all of the books here, so if there are some that have been mislabeled, please tell me! Suggestions are always welcome!






weird girlhood(s)
the books that are most interesting, inventive, and complex for the girlhood studies grad student in me. whose βgirlhoodβ are we talking about? iβm thinking of girlhood as a liminal, queer, socially constructed, often traumatic, uncanny space.
