So you wanna be a radical, atheist feminist, of the dirty rotten type …

…or maybe just read like one.

Here is my required reading:

Non-fiction

• Full Frontal Feminism by Jessica Valenti
• The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan
• Killing the Black Body by Dorothy Roberts
• Refusing to Be a Man by John Stoltenberg
• The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins
• Perfect Girls, Starving Daughter by Courtney Martin

Fiction

• The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
• Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
• The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
• The Stepford Wives by Ira Levin
• I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
• The Kitchen God’s Wife by Amy Tan
• The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
• Nice Big American Baby by Judy Budnitz
• The Wind Done Gone by Alice Randall
• Lilith’s Brood by Octavia Butler
• Kindred by Octavia Butler
• The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula LeGuin

(please note that my fiction list is not limited to novels with explicit feminist themes, but rather feminist inspired/or friendly themes.)

I want my list to grow (and more to read!), so please, any suggestions would rock my world!!
