As someone who is both a student in the Institute of English Studies and a feminist, it is perhaps not that surprising that I belong to a book club, nor that we have ended up prioritising works by women in our (roughly) monthly picks.
That is not to disregard the great works by men, but to try and tip the scale of how many male to female writers we were taught about and consequently read into something a bit more equal. As a kind of bonus post, I’ve listed all of the books we’ve chosen so far along with a bite-size review. Happy reading!
