Bhagavad Gita translated in English. Written a thousands of years before the birth of Jesus Christ, European colonization. It's a short read but turned me into a womanist. I think everyone should read it in there lifetime.

younger black women often hear about the 'bashing era' of black women on youtube, twitter ect......black males like to downplay this era, and their mules pretend it doesn't exist......i was in my 20's at the height of this era, and know it very well first hand, as well as alot of other black women on this board who have spoken on it......

Anti Bw trend on social media 2009-2015

Why is public bashing of black women so popular?

Feminine Imperative - Go back as far as you can in your search and read the blogs (you'll see where a lot of the current pill talk is from).

Control Theory - Search and read according to curiosity.

The Problem With Feminist Ethnography - Search and read as related to the emergence of gender supremacy in analysis.

The PDF, "Mamies, Matriarchs and Other Control Images."

Most brilliant book to ever put serial killers/xes crimes historically in their proper perspective as a means to control women.

Andrea Dworkin's books available online for free

All of Mary Daly's books are a must read, especially Gynecology and Wikidary

Coco, that second thread was legendary about black women being used as a mule for her black family. I came across that thread while battling that personally a couple years ago helping everybody even providing for them, it made me open my eyes to cut the bµllsh!t quickly. Those stories I believed them from other fonts, black women do be being used for cash, therapy and then get tossed aside from their black faux relatives. All these are great reads, I’ll keep reading these too.

not a thread or book about womanism, but ive been hearing about “the body keeps the score”. many of us have experienced trauma, aware or not. Its a great read for exploring how trauma changes the body and keeps for healing - perfect for any scholars interested in mental health and the intersection between black womanhood or anybody in general!

Thanks very much for this list of Islamic feminist books. I can see I have some work to do, as I have not come across any of them before. My bad!

Imperial Leather: Race, Gender, and Sexuality in the Colonial Contest

by Anne McClintock


Imperial Leather chronicles the dangerous liaisons between gender, race and class that shaped British imperialism and its bloody dismantling. Spanning the century between Victorian Britain and the current struggle for power in South Africa, the book takes up the complex relationships between race and sexuality, fetishism and money, gender and violence, domesticity and the imperial market, and the gendering of nationalism within the zones of imperial and anti-imperial power.
