50 essential feminist books

Must-reads texts for women everywhere

The past year has been important for feminism. From Slutwalks to gender pay gaps, from David Cameron telling Angela Eagle to "calm down dear" to recent statistics showing that women are losing their jobs ten times as fast as men and are due to be hit hardest by the austerity cuts; women's rights are still to be fought for. In her bestselling book How To Be A Woman, Caitlin Moran reasserted feminism through a postmodern viewfinder, but as hilarious as it is, it's not the only feminist book out there worth its salt. Below, we've selected 50 essential feminist reads, spanning the first, second and third waves of feminism.
