I have read several excellent foreign novels recently, which are still my favorite feminist themes. After reading it, it can be said that it will be unforgettable for a few days, highly recommended and full of stamina!

The first book: The author is Fiona Kidman, a leading feminist literary figure in New Zealand, and the title is Until Summer.

Recommended index:

Highlight: When I opened this book, it was like turning the noisy world into a silent mode. I hope this book can accompany you and spend the summer together! Ah, I can't help feeling that I really want to thank the editor of this book for discovering a treasure author!

In this process, there is a feeling of opening the vast door of the New Zealand literary world in summer and listening to the distant past. The book tells 13 female stories and four stages of love: detour → longing → lost → true colors, a girl who seeks herself in ignorance, a daughter who is hurt by misplaced family relations, a mother who is anxious about her son's wedding, and the origin of the pain of stopping and thinking in city life. The exploration of.

She briefly remembered the needle swimming in her body. Floating in her blood, in her own thick soup The needle moved somewhere in the body, maybe into her heart.

They drove home and walked across the grassy slope. The moon seems to be floating in the sky, stopping for a while, floating for a while, and slowly flowing in the night sky.

Kidman doesn't judge in his novels, and he won't draw the only right path for women. She only presents and depicts women's lives or moments in detail.

The second book: The author is Ueno Chizuka, and the title is 40 years of women's rights.

Recommended index:?

Highlight: In recent two years, Ms. Ueno's works are deeply loved by women because of her sharp and humorous feminist style. I am one of them, hahaha ~

This time, 40 Years of Women's Rights tells in detail the changes of women's rights in the past 40 years from the perspective of timeline and events. In 1970s, (the first feminist movement) pursued "equal rights with men" and the slogan "women's liberation" came into being. In the 1990s, the goal of the second feminist movement was to "realize the participation of men and women in all fields", improve the representative position of women, and put forward the first question: the template of people should not be only men. There are still many contradictions and struggles behind all this, and the road to women's rights and freedom has a long way to go. After reading it, from "Wild Girl" to "the first person in feminist theory", 40 years of thinking and experience are all in this book, which will really be "brainwashed" after reading it!

Highlighted book excerpts:

The "self-reliance" found by feminists in the movement should be "* * *". People's self-reliance ability can only be cultivated with the support of the collective. Only when you have partners around you can you stand on your own feet. Self-reliance is not isolation.

Women are not liberated until they are completely free to have children. "

As long as "rules" such as "what men should do and what women should do" exist, in other words, as long as "differences" exist, "discrimination" will not disappear.

Feminism has been discussed, and even this topic has been demonized. What we need is correct cognition and rational thinking. Although it is not easy, only in this way can we really change! Read more books and keep up with the times ~
