Overview

Jezebel's 75 Books Every Woman Should Read
A reading challenge originally published on Jezebel in 2008. At the time, it was a response to the male-dominated “must-read” lists. Rather than telling women how to be or what to think, this list celebrates books by women, centering female voices, stories, and perspectives that resonate across identities and experiences. 
From literary classics to contemporary powerhouses, this collection spans fiction, memoir, poetry, and essays that explore love, rage, identity, ambition, sexuality, and the messy brilliance of being human.
