I've never liked a single piece of feminist literature I've read

    Have you ever read The Bell Jar by Slyvia Plath?
    How to be a Woman by Caitlin Moran?
    I thought it was impossible to dislike these books.

      Those books, I have not read. Maybe when I get a chance, I'll look for them at the library.

      I'm going to throw my weight behind this and also recommend The Bell Jar, even though it wasn't what I first thought of when I saw this post.

      My favourite is Herland. It deserves to be as famous as Brave New World and probably would have been had it not been written when it was. The Female Man is pretty good as well. My female friends would recommend Margaret Attwood and Ursula Le Guin as writers but, for some reason, they didn't appeal to me as a male.

        Herland is a brilliant novel. I love the society and I love how Perkins has a good sense of how a gentlemen acts in a room surrounded by women. I also suggested this book to the OP.

        I so love the Bell Jar. One of my favourite books of all time. I don't mind a bit of Margaret Attwood either.
        But I'm gunna check out what you suggested. I've been looking for something new to read recently.

          Herland is one I absolutely loved. The premise is fascinating.

          Actually, given where we live, I could hide my copy somewhere about town for you and send you on a treasure hunt. :P
