can we just talk about how you're doing such an AMAZING job in this video, even though you're always saying you're not sure if you're doing a great job. leora, you do! all these books sound so interesting and how you talk about them, I immediately want to read all of them and learn more about feminism and all the other topics you talk about. thanks so much for this

[@leoraaileen]

marie 🥺💗

[@Urukins]

This video comes with such good timing, I really want to start on more feminist literature. I have recently acquired Invisible women, together with some of these suggestions I now have a pretty solid tbr hah

[@leoraaileen]

Yay!

[@separatista]

Video starts around 3:36

[@throneofpages]

[@leoraaileen]

TRULY

[@lilybrown4180]

Thank you for this video. There's something so empowering about women hyping up feminist literature, and it's not seen enough online!

[@lexithan8622]

Love this

[@kalareadsagain]

This is such a great video! A good mix of ones I’ve heard of and already read/want to read and ones I’ve never seen anyone else mention. Thank you for putting in the work to make it!

[@leoraaileen]

that's great! thank you for watching!

[@avivastudios2311]

This is an interesting list. Also, your hair is beautiful. I love red hair. Yours is the best I've seen in a while.

[@clevernesstudies]

This was the video I was looking for ❤❤❤❤

this changed my view im also 6ft and work in finance

I have been wanting to read Invisible Women for such a long time. It's a book about statistics and data bias in the world and how it impacts safety protocols and design in tech and accessibility and stuff like that. I hope to get to it this year. I've also wanted to read more books by Latinx women (because I'm Mexican) and I honestly don't read from my own people often enough. There's just not a lot of latinx sci-fi and high fantasy out there (and those are my favorite genres), much less written originally in Spanish.

[@leoraaileen]

Oooh yes! It’s on my list, but ive heard some mixed things on it

[@zeynepcoskun7110]

i love this, thank you for making this video!! added all the ones i didn’t read to my tbr

[@romalibra_books]

You would love Rage Becomes Her by Soraya Chemaly, it’s my favorite feminist non fiction so far because the writing is amazing and she never repeats herself, and manages to talk about so many subjects without it feeling overwhelming

[@leoraaileen]

taking notes! That sounds good

[@DreamersArmy]

I've read it this month! What an amazing book

[@AutumnsYouTubeAcct]

Omg. I’m a DV and complex trauma survivor and multi faceted may now be my favorite word to describe C-PTSD. Thank you ❤

[@taratasse9247]

Love this video! Also, I must know where your earrings are from and lip colour!

[@leoraaileen]

the earrings are from bestaansrecht.net 🥰

[@kaylabittenwrites]

Great video! I'm a feminist/culture/reproductive justice writer and this was done perfectly! Thanks for sharing on your platform.

[@AbiofPellinor]

Yessss adding all these to my tbr!

[@wickedbookwitch]

I loved Wordslut! Montell's other book Cultish was just as fabulous. She's so witty and her writing is so fun to read. Would definitely recommend some Bell Hooks on here and "Men Who Hate Women" by Laura Bayes (although this one is HEAVY and quite the difficult read).

[@leoraaileen]

Yesssss loved cultish too! Have you listened to the podcast as well?

[@wickedbookwitch]

@@leoraaileen yesss! 🙌🏻

[@elinakasneci3724]

Great recommendations! White tears, brown scars is my favourite feminist non-fiction book..could you do a Dutch version of this video? I would love to hear about your favourite Dutch non-fiction books. I read de naakte waarheid after you mentioned it in one of your videos and i loved it 🤩

[@leoraaileen]

ooooh Yes!!! doe misschien wel een keer op tiktok, daar heb ik ook meer nl’se kijkers :) goed idee

[@badfaith4u]

💐❤️🎂🎉🎈🌷🎐🪩🎏🪅🐈🌝🌚 Awesome video!

[@ghost_neeko8107]

Hey, I loved the video! I appreciate the recommendations and plan on picking up amateur. A quick recommendation of my own is “invisible women” by Caroline Criado Perez :)

[@Yellochi]

oooh thanks for the recs! there were actually 3 i didn't know and I really want to read them now :) a book I recently read and love is being lolita by allison wood (really sad but beautifully written).

[@leoraaileen]

How can you be a man and be invested in feminism without being pretentious about it? Seems to me like the difference of not being an arse and being a people pleaser.

[@alterego157]

Men as so awesome, doing amazing things.
