[Anarchafeminists] Good books?

[Emma Pooka]

Too many to list, but I just recently finished ‘Caliban and the Witch’ by Silvia Federici and can’t recommend it highly enough.  Really thorough analysis of how the shift from feudalism to capitalism required a drastic change in the social status of women and necessitated a campaign of mass persecution (the witch hunts) to create that social role.

Also, just offhand, ‘How to Suppress Women’s Writing’ by Joanna Russ.  She’s just so incisive and witty and wonderful.

Hey hey all,

One of the collective at Freedom Bookshop in London asked me if I could suggest any good books on women/gender/feminism-type issues that they could stock in order to improve their list - and I thought I'd throw it open to all of you. 

What are your old favourites and new discoveries?
What do you think other people might want to buy?
Feminist type stuff much welcomed, but equally any other really good reccomendations on other subjects (or even fiction) also appreciated.

Many thanks
Jae
