Feminist books/authors!

[Nidhi]

Looking for recommendations. We already have some here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/delhi...

Also, would "Feminism" as a theme work for Delhi?

Feminism as a theme works for anywhere :)

Have you read How to Be a Woman? It's a more "accessible" feminism - so while it doesn't talk about the so-called larger issues like the gender gap in wages, the issues she touches upon are still relevant and maybe more so.

Great! Thanks.
If any of you are interested a Rock Music and its critiques. Here is one (my personal favourite) The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Rock Critic

Ismat Chughtai never made it to our Hindi textbooks in school, so I'd never heard of her. But I happened to catch a reading/performance of some of her stories by Naseeruddin Shah, Heeba Shah and Ratna Pathak once and it was an absolute delight. I'm not sure I'll be able to comprehend that level of Urdu without the histrionics, but I definitely want to give reading it a shot.

recently read ' In a forest , a deer ' by famous Tamil writer CS Lakshmi ( Ambai ) and translated by Lakshmi Holmstrom. work of fiction but brilliant ( and most stories had a strong feminist theme ) . Highly recommended
