In lieu of gestures vaguely at everything, International Women’s Day being stripped from my calendar, plus being in luteal phase, I’m looking for a feminist rage book. Fiction or nonfiction. I lean toward contemporary fiction, sci-fi, weird, or thriller.

Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder
Dietland by Sarai Walker
Iron Widow by Xiren Jay Zhao.
Wu Zeitan sets out expecting to die to get revenge. Things get complicated because she’s harder to kill than she expected. Also there are magic giant robot fights.
If you’re down for sci-fi, Iron Widow is literally about a girl getting angry enough to rip down a patriarchy with her bare hands.

How about a novella so you can gobble it up today? The Harpy by Megan Turner would probably be right up your alley, and it’s so good. I can also recommend The Crane Husband except it will just make you angrier! Both are weird/contenporary.
They Never Learn by Layne Fargo
