Critical Theory and More: inspired by Louisa Munch
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.

History Through A Female Lens
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 whatโs 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!

Dismantle the manosphere
Books that might help people of all genders (including men) to think critically about the patriarchy, incel/manosphere ideologies and sexism. Unpicking internalised sexism is important, and books might be a useful tool to help ourselves and others. Intersections with issues of age, race, class etc.are likely!
