The feminist movement and the Equal Rights Amendment both have a long and storied (and often fraught) history in this country. We’ve curated our must-read classics on these subjects, plus some great new books that we think you’ll really love!

Add some of these books to your TBR pile, or start a feminist book club and make sure to add us to the invite list! We’ll bring the wine.
