covers topics such as:

• race
• gender
• neoliberalism & more !!

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.

We can't have a democracy without informed citizens - Louisa Toxvaerd Munch

An alternative to "feminine rage" and "women's wrongs"

Nuanced, intersectional approaches to gender theory

Looking for transfeminine and nonbinary specific recommendations

All credit for this list goes to ysaleftyouonread on instagram! This is her list of female authors she spotlighted for Women’s History Month, that are “not the same five white ladies” we always hear about! My personal goal is to read one book from each of these 31 women this year; I have been loving this journey and wanted to share with you all!

(Check out Ysa’s reels, she does a great job of describing the vibes without giving away the story!)

Paris posted these books on their instagram to read alongside Fatal Flaw so I thought I’d put them into a list here to keep track of.

gender studies theoretical works for those who wish to delve into this field!! (BEWARE! it acts as umbrella term for many other fields, therefore it's immensely extensive😭)

a collection of feminist literature for empowerment and change🫶🏼

let me know if you have any suggestions!

For anyone who wants to live in a matriarchal society, since clearly something needs to change.

Some books I consider to be essential (or just really good) to understand the world from a sociological perspective. (Note: I am a Mexican sociologist so some of the books might be in their Spanish title) ( Note 2: I added that Louise Tilly book but I think that any other would also be a good alternative. I added her because I think she’s a great historian who really contributed to historic sociology)
