hungry women
these books use (literal) hunger as a political tool to speak to women’s oppression, repression and desire, whether through overt cannibal metaphor, speculative dispatches, or more subtle nuances of appetite in literary fiction. these women are hungry for something more, whether they’re allowed to act on it or not.
recommendations welcome!

so much to chew on!
u already know what i'm gonna say! (if this was a quest i'd have a bronze)
I think Book eaters will also fit. Oppression of women specifically is a theme. I DNFed it though because it felt too much.
