⭑The Second Sex - Simone de Beauvoir
Synopsis
The Second Sex delves into the concept of feminism by looking at historical facts and biases, and explains how being a woman implies making yourself smaller so that you can fit in today's society, and how we reacted and fight for it.
Why
I've always intrigued by themes related to feminism, and would like to bring this into my future projects/researches. in her book The second sex, Simone de Beauvoir discusses the treatment of women in the present society as well as throughout all of history. I like her argues about "What is woman?", and that man is considered the default, while woman is considered the "Other". In addition, about the issues of women should get rid of the responsibility of "giving birth" etc.
⭑A Cyborg Manifesto - Donna Haraway
⭑Witches, Sluts, Feminists: Conjuring the Sex Positive - Kristen J. Sollee
Synopsis
This book enriches our contemporary conversations about reproductive rights, sexual pleasure, queer identity, pornography, sex work, and more.
Why
I feel a strong connection to the societal misogyny surrounding women's nudity and slut shaming. I've read the book called "The Ethical Slut": A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships, and Other Freedoms in Sex and Love which really gives me lots of inspirations and thoughts related to this themes.
