Difficult Women, By Roxane Gay
Difficult Women
No Description
Roxanne Gay has brought about many talks when it comes to the feminist movement. With her writings on Bad Feminist, she surpassed her excitement on An Untamed State, and her most recent book, called Difficult Women, which was released in the beginning of the year, tells a story of what Amazon calls “privilege and poverty,” as well as some very twisted intertwinements of their inner circle.

Queen Sugar: A Novel, By Natalie Baszile
Queen Sugar: A Novel
No Description
Though Natalie Baszile has only released one book, she hit it out of the park with her first novel called Queen Sugar. The book ended up being morphed into an OWN Network TV Series produced by Oprah Winfrey, about a woman who loses her father, and has to uproot her life in LA with her 11 year old daughter, and move to Louisiana to revive the farm, or lose it to charity. There’s no option to sell. This sort of story takes you on a world of emotional hardship, as well as tackling Southern Stereotypes. She’s definitely an author to watch in hopes of a new story.
How To Be A Woman, Caitlin Moran

No Description
A columnist for The Times Of London, Moran fights all of the restraints on women society, and blurts out if you are a woman and want to be in charge of your *lady business* - "Congratulations! You're a feminist." Her write up is blunt, and not for the faint hearted, but is noted as one of the modern day drivers for women who want to revolutionize the world.
#GIRLBOSS, Sophie Amoruso

No Description

/ “Although now I live in the northeast, my imagination lives in Atlanta.” This is a very true statement coming from Tayari Jones, in which her groundbreaking book Leaving Atlanta focuses on Atlanta’s child murders in the late ‘70’s and early ‘80’s. Documented by Amazon, she shares that the particular choice of that topic was because it was her way of documenting the history of that time and it was to “remind myself and my readers what it was like to be eleven and at the mercy of the world.”
