“The first thing they teach me at the store is how to be my best self. It requires constant self-surveillance to steadily improve.”
In two so simple sentences, the author manages to summarize and neatly articulate so many thoughts I’ve had for a long time about how all the self-care time, routines, products, rituals even that are promoted to women as a treat and forms of liberation, sometimes emancipation, are - besides being a marketing trick - just new ways of oppression of the woman and her body/form.

I'd love to see Elizabeth Gaskell added to this quest, Mary Barton, North and South, even Cranford. She's not as well known as other Victorian era authors but she also wrote about the disparity between rich and poor. And in my opinion she's easier to read and get into compared to some of her contemporaries.

Short, But Not Sweet: Strange Books < 300 pages
I love novellas and short stories, I feel like it really gives authors a place to flex their talents on just how much they can reveal of a character or world in minimal page space. These are some I feel really pack a punch. They are weird, unique, and can be read in a day.
