For international women’s day here are just a few of my books that are written by/for/about powerful women. If your feminism isn’t intersectional, it’s nothing.

Read BETWEEN TWO MOONS by Aisha Abdel Gawad

Reading these at the same time had been quite the punch to the emotional nutsack.

[bookcadia]

“She woke up every morning feeling very young, yet at the same time terribly old. Some days she felt as though she were still a child, other days as thought se had felt far too much of the world for one life. That she had been burdened with duty ever since she was a child. That she had never really lived. She felt empty; she felt full. She needed people; she needed to be alone. She couldn't get the equation right? Who was to blame? She thought it was herself. She thought it was her mother, and her mother's mother, and the mothers of all their mothers, all the way back in time.”

― Etaf Rum, A Woman Is No Man
