Recs if you like Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution...

Because apparently women’s bodies are still elective in Science 101! Non-Fiction all about women's (all variations) health and the lack of research behind it.

These are some of my favorites and books I want to read--nonfiction that reads like fiction or is otherwise compelling. If you're intimidated by books on history, science, memoir, or other subgenres in nonfiction, start here.

WHAT LIES BENEATH US LIES BEFORE US

Books about digging, the ground we walk on and the stories buried underneath our feet. From dinosaurs / paleontology, anthropology, ancient history, archaeology to the soil and geology and all its wonders. Non-fiction only

Books about how systems of inequality are constructed and maintained.

Don't let the poor zombies starve, feed your brain, make it plump and ripe with knowledge and critical thinking skills. It might also be useful if the zombies never come, who knows. You better be ready.

Nonfiction on a single, weirdly specific topic

Books about feminine power and rage. Inspiring, enraging, validating. Let us rise, my sisters.

The perfect biology book blends informative science and an interesting writing style. This ideal blend is hard to find and I’m thankful every time. I hope you like these, too!

Well that was enlightening

Please feel free to comment suggestions!

The majority of history has been, and still is, written by men. Even when men write about women in history, they often get it wrong, distort the truth to fit moral or political narratives, or just plain have no idea what the female experience is so they miss what’s actually important.

Here is a list of some of history written by female authors, who are looking at history through their female gaze - not through the lense of what men have decided is history.

Suggestions welcome!

A collection of all the books that have caught my feminist attention.

Culture, biology, psychology, history. What makes us HUMAN?

This list focuses on nonfiction books that describe different topics in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). This list tends to prioritize books that focus more on the whys/hows something works, but occasionally dive into the history of subjects too!

Happy reading! As always open to suggestions!! 🤠🌱

Read these books first! Take a deep dive into the wonderful ecosystems that have evolved over millions of years and realise that humans are not as unique as we like to think.

It’s much cheaper than a degree (coming from a conservation and ecology major) 🤪

Books on the education of PCOS, fertility, & sexual health.

I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2023 & have been trying to educate myself further on not only my diagnosis, but my overall health. I haven’t read many of these, but am more than open to suggestions!

A list of nonfiction books to learn more about female bodies, health, sexuality and needs in a world mostly designed by men for men.

Popular science that broadens your understanding of the complex world of biology.

since it's women's history month here is my ever growing TBR and admiration for women who have come before me. You are invaluable and inspiring to say the least ♡

Books for understanding the world and the people in it. Fiction and nonfiction
