Why read it?
1 author picked Sisters of the Revolution as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The diversity in this feminist collection pushed me to open my mind. It didn’t allow me to accept there is only one way to be a feminist.

One of my favorite stories was L. Timmel Duchamp’s "The Forbidden Words of Margaret A". It kept me gripped and fascinated by what it didn’t say.
From Angela's list on women of courage and strength.
