Feminist Lit: From First Wave to Present - Page 5

Basically what it sounds like. A list of feminist literature, most non-fiction, from the early first wave years to this year. Note: not all of these will be the best examples of feminism. I am including outdated texts along with texts from the present and because feminism isn't a monolith, there will be different takes on it.
