Lovely article in the Guardian asking feminists which books inspired them and made them feminists - I love Jessica Valente's story about Naomi Wolf. So: which books made you a feminist? For me, I'd say Little Women had a big effect when I was very young indeed, showing how women have to make an effort to show that they're as good as men - and that this is what they should do. When I was older, The Female Eunuch was brilliant not so much because it showed me new things about the world but because it showed how much my experiences of the world were part of a big, meaningful, connected whole - and also showed me both how far we'd come since the seventies and how far we still had to go.
What books made you a feminist? The Guardian would like to hear (books@guardian.co.uk) - but do comment below as well...

Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i
was just curious if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how
do you reduce it, any plugin or anything you can recommend?
I get so much lately it's driving me crazy so any assistance is very much appreciated.
