The 2016 Feminism Reading Challenge

I didn't think I'd be signing up for any more challenges, and it didn't look like this one was being offered this year.  But here it is at a new blog, so I'll be in again.  There are no levels again, and I've already read some books that fit. See here.

Last year I created a Feminism Suggested Reading List. I decided to create a reading challenge for this goal and invite others to participate. It was a great success so I'm bringing it back for 2016!

My purpose for this challenge is to educate myself about the history of feminism, significant people in the movement, and to learn the different schools of feminist thought.

However, this is a design it yourself challenge. I want you to choose your own reading goals. They may be be different from mine. Perhaps you will want to focus on reproductive rights, on just third wave feminism, or just on female fictional authors. The choice is yours.The Rules:
This challenge begins January 1, 2016 and ends Dec 31, 2016.

You may sign up anytime during the year.

I won't be creating different levels. Read as little or as many books as you want.

You may include books of any format including traditional books, ebooks, or audiobooks.

Books may be YA, adult, fiction, or nonfiction. You will find a suggested reading list here. Books do not have to come from this list but they must focus on feminist issues and themes.

You may reread books.
