This list is shaped by our personal tastes, our geographies, and our understanding of feminism as a strategy and a tool to understand and dismantle interlocking systems of oppression. Below is a list of our ever-evolving Charis feminist canon. We think, as bell hooks says, "feminism is for everybody," but not every feminist book is for every person.
