I'm going to spend this forthcoming year aiming to exclusively read works only by women and predominately about women. This is based on the attitude of Sheila Jeffreys who says she has read mostly women based works for the past 30 pus years.
What would people add to my list so far? I'm aiming for minimum one key text or classic per month plus my normal audiobooks and any additional books i pick up.
I want a list to keep me focused. i love starting books but don't always finish them. This year I'm getting finished! :D

COVID has messed with my start but I'm on it again for Feb. There's a online book group discussion group about Doublethink so I might start there. It's on Meetup. You could do that as a motivation!? Invisible Women is enraging!!! In the best way I seen it recommended so many times bit never read it. Loved it when I did. Sign up for her newsletter. It's really good.
