Recs if you like Why We Matter: Das Ende der Unterdrückung...

A single day a year isn't enough to change the scope of this unfortunately ongoing issue, so here's a selection of feminist non-fiction by German* authors/in original German versions!

*Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and any other country of origin, provided the book is written in German in its original version :)

This list was generated from a post on pagebound club on Juneteenth in 2026. I opted to not try and make this list comprehensive but just to document the community recs from that day - however, if you have more books to recommend please comment in the forum! Prompts from the original post will be in the comments. Note: prompts asked for books by Black authors, not only those from/books set in the US. See comments section for more discussion.

Fiction and nonfiction that question patriarchy, critique power, and imagine new futures for anyone tired of individualistic feminism. From ghosts to economics, magic to memoirs, these books challenge everything, and make you think, feel, and maybe even rage a little.

Es gibt viele Sachbücher. Es gibt viele feministische Sachbücher. Hier ist eine Auswahl an Sachbüchern, um für alles gewappnet zu sein.
