[ISLMA-Share] Diverse YA Feminist Fiction

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I could give you a bunch of titles, but it would probably be easier and quicker for you to look at the We Need Diverse Books<https://diversebooks.org/resources/where-to-find-diverse-books/> resources to see what matches up with what you have already.

Good luck and have fun!

Subject: [ISLMA-Share] Diverse YA Feminist Fiction

Hello all!

We're doing a bit of thinking ahead for displays in my library and with March being Women's History Month, we always have a big nonfiction display of exceptional women from around the world and spanning the spectrum of areas of influence (the arts, the military, sports, etc.)

We want to expand to include feminist YA (and adult with YA appeal) fiction as well, but the titles I have so far come from white, cisgendered perspectives - Moxie, Glory O'Brien's History of the Future, The Female of the Species. I want this to be intersectional and inclusive, so any recommendations for additional diverse titles would be appreciated!
