foxinsand's "feminist fiction"

Add to my lists | Print this list

This is different to a list of books by and about women. This is a list of books discussing and challenging gender roles in our society, commenting on the roles that women have been constrained in by this society. Some are written by men. Some are science/speculative fiction. Feel free to tell me what needs adding to the list.
