The Penguin Book of Feminist Writing: Hannah Dawson

About the book

The Penguin Book of Feminist Writing by Hannah Dawson is a feminist writing anthology for adult readers.

A powerful new anthology of feminist voices throughout history and from around the world. The Penguin Book of Feminist Writing selects writing from across time and throughout the world, creating a treasure-trove of the most important feminist thought alongside surprising and delightful fiction, poetry and diaries, celebrating the multiplicity of feminist voices that have emerged over the centuries.

Beginning in the fifteenth century with Christine de Pizan, who imagined a City of Ladies that would serve as a refuge from the harassment of men, this book goes beyond the usual white, western story. The writers in this anthology ask questions about class, capitalism and colonialism, and other axes of oppression that intersect with sexism.
