A thread to share female-owned businesses, female-authored books, female artists… you get the drift. Let’s talk about positive representations of women.
I’ve made a Discord book club, if anyone would like to join:
https://discord.gg/CMBF9HjOnly female authors discussed. Once we reach 10 members the first book will be voted on! (Server in English, based in Western Europe.)

>>76780Really like this idea anon, shame the board is so slow.
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is quite good. Written by a woman about a woman whose cancer was sampled for the purposes of biomedical research. She is 'immortal' in the sense that her DNA has lived on unabated for decades past her death. It might not sound like a fun read but it is actually quite interesting.

I also highly recommend anything by Mary Roach, but 'Boink: The Curious Coupling of Sex and Science' is probably her most well known one.
She wrote another book 'Stiff' about human cadavers that is also really interesting. Both books are much funnier than you would expect them to be.
