FEMINIST REVOLUTION
H
owever, with current campaigns such as #metoo and #ourtimenow; statistics showing that the gender pay gap is still an issue; and the fact that women are five times
more likely to be sexually assaulted than men*, it
is blindingly obvious that the
equality we seek is still a long way off. This means it is more important than ever that there are novels available to the next generation which overtly discuss issues of equality.
These timely and groundbreaking reads have been selected for their empowering messages, including how to stand up to everyday sexism, the question of consent, the issues of victim blaming, how to break down the typical female gender stereotype.
