I want books where women overcome shitty men. Especially because the male character(s) was/were sexist or just assholes. (I swear I’m not a bitch, but my mom is in an emotionally abusive relationship and I think this would help her; examples of women coming out on top).
Examples I’ve read so far:
Lessons in Chemistry
The Great Alone
Educated
