The Handmaid's Tale
Margaret Atwood · 2011
An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from “the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction” (New York Times). Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss. In this multi-award-winning, bestselling novel, Margaret Atwood has created a stunning Orwellian vision of the near future. This is the story of Offred, one of the unfortunate “Handmaids” under the new social order who have only one purpose: to breed. In Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships, Offred’s persistent memories of life in the “time before” and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. Provocative, startling, prophetic, and with Margaret Atwood’s devastating irony, wit, and acute perceptive powers in full force, The Handmaid’s Tale is at once a mordant satire and a dire warning.

A Vindication of the Rights of Woman
Barnes & Noble, Mary Wollstonecraft · 2004

Women Who Run with the Wolves
Clarissa Pinkola Estés Phd · 1995
<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>BESTSELLER • More than 2.7 million copies sold! • “A deeply spiritual book [that] honors what is tough, smart and untamed in women.”—<i>The Washington Post Book World</i><br><br>Book club pick for Emma Watson’s Our Shared Shelf<br></b><br> Within every woman there lives a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. She is the Wild Woman, who represents the instinctual nature of women. But she is an endangered species. For though the gifts of wildish nature belong to us at birth, society’s attempt to “civilize” us into rigid roles has muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls.<br><br> In <i>Women Who Run with the Wolves</i>, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories, many from her own traditions, in order to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual nature. Through the stories and commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, love, and understand the Wild Woman, and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine.<br><br> Dr. Estés has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and life-giving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.

Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women
Susan Faludi • 2006
<b>A new edition of the feminist classic, with an all-new introduction exploring the role of backlash in the 2016 election and laying out a path forward for 2020 and beyond<br></b><br><b>Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award • “Enraging, enlightening, and invigorating, <i>Backlash</i> is, most of all, true.”—<i>Newsday</i></b><br><br>First published in 1991, <i>Backlash</i> made headlines and became a bestselling classic for its thoroughgoing debunking of a decadelong antifeminist backlash against women’s advances. A Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist, Susan Faludi brilliantly deconstructed the reigning myths about the “costs” of women’s independence—from the supposed “man shortage” to the “infertility epidemic” to “career burnout” to “toxic day care”—and traced their circulation from Reagan-era politics through the echo chambers of mass media, advertising, and popular culture. <br> <br>As Faludi writes in a new preface for this edition, much has changed in the intervening years: The Internet has given voice to a new generation of feminists. Corporations list “gender equality” among their core values. In 2019, a record number of women entered Congress. Yet the glass ceiling is still unshattered, women are still punished for wanting to succeed, and reproductive rights are hanging by a thread. This startling and essential book helps explain why women’s freedoms are still so demonized and threatened—and urges us to choose a different future.

Girl, Interrupted
Susanna Kaysen · 2013
<b>30th ANNIVERSARY EDITION <b>• </b>NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she'd never seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen was put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital. Her memoir of the next two years is a "poignant, honest ... triumphantly funny ... and heartbreaking story" (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>). <br><br><b>WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR <br></b></b><br>The ward for teenage girls in the McLean psychiatric hospital was as renowned for its famous clientele—Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor, and Ray Charles—as for its progressive methods of treating those who could afford its sanctuary. Kaysen's memoir encompasses horror and razor-edged perception while providing vivid portraits of her fellow patients and their keepers. It is a brilliant evocation of a "parallel universe" set within the kaleidoscopically shifting landscape of the late sixties. <br><br><i>Girl, Interrupted</i> is a clear-sighted, unflinching document that gives lasting and specific dimension to our definitions of sane and insane, mental illness and recovery.

Ensayo sobre la ceguera
José Saramago • 1995
Un hombre parado ante un semáforo en rojo se queda ciego súbitamente. Es el primer caso de una «ceguera blanca» que luego se propaga de manera fulminante. Internados en cuarentena o perdidos en la ciudad, los ciegos tendrán que enfrentarse a lo más primitivo de la naturaleza humana: la voluntad de sobrevivir a toda costa.<br/><br/>Con esas premisas, José Saramago traza una imagen aterradora y conmovedora de los tiempos de crisis. También, en el cruce de la literatura y la sabiduría, nos exhorta a los lectores a cerrar los ojos y ver más allá de las evidencias. Recuperar la lucidez y rescatar el afecto son dos propuestas fundamentales de una novela que es, además, una reflexión sobre la ética del amor y la solidaridad.

Animal Farm: 75th Anniversary Edition
George Orwell · 2004

Fahrenheit 451
Ray Bradbury · 2013
"Sixty years after the original publication, Ray Bradbury's internationally acclaimed novel 'Fahrenheit 451' stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family." But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn't live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known. This sixtieth-anniversary edition commemorates Ray Bradbury's masterpiece with a new introduction by Neil Gaiman ; personal essays on the genesis of the novel by the author ; a wealth of critical essays and reviews by Nelson Algren, Harold Bloom, Margaret Atwood, and others ; rare manuscript pages and sketches from Ray Bradbury's personal archive ; and much more. Here, at last, is the definitive edition of a classic of world literature."--taken from back cover.

1984
George Orwell · 1961
<b>Written more than 70 years ago, <i>1984</i> was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever...<br><br><b>• Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s <i>The Great American Read •</i></b><br></b><br>“<i>The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.</i>”<br><br>Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...<br><br>A startling and haunting novel, <i>1984</i> creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

La teoría del amor
Ali Hazelwood · 2023
En esta fantástica comedia romántica de la autora de La hipótesis del amor y La química del amor, dos físicos rivales chocan en una vorágine de disputas académicas y relaciones falsas. Las múltiples vidas de la física teórica Elsie Hannaway han acabado atrapándola. De día es profesora adjunta. Se afana en corregir exámenes y enseñar termodinámica con la esperanza de, algún día, conseguir la titularidad. De noche, complementa su inexistente sueldo ofreciendo el servicio de ser una novia falsa, lo cual lleva a cabo con éxito gracias a sus habilidades para caerle bien a la gente y encarnar cualquier versión de sí misma que necesite el cliente. Lo cierto es que es un trabajo estupendo... hasta que el Elsie-verso que tanto le ha costado construir se viene abajo. Jack Smith, el hermano arrogante e irritantemente atractivo de su cliente favorito, resulta ser el físico experimentalista sin corazón que arruinó la carrera de su mentor y minó la reputación de los teóricos a nivel mundial. Y ese mismo Jack Smith, que es quien dirige el departamento de Física del MIT, se interpone ahora entre Elsie y el trabajo de sus sueños. Ella está dispuesta a poner en marcha una guerra de sabotaje académico, pero... ¿qué son esas miradas tan largas y penetrantes? ¿Cómo es que, cuando está con él, no tiene que ser una versión diferente de sí misma? ¿Caer en la órbita de un experimentalista conseguirá que, por fin, ponga en práctica todas sus teorías sobre el amor?

La química del amor
Ali Hazelwood · 2022
Una nueva comedia romántica situada en la NASA en la que una científica se ve obligada a trabajar en un proyecto junto a su archienemigo... con resultados explosivos. Bee Königswasser se rige siempre por un código muy sencillo: ¿qué haría Marie Curie? Si la NASA le ofreciera liderar un proyecto de neuroingeniería, un sueño hecho realidad después de pasarse años malviviendo con las migajas del mundo académico, Marie aceptaría sin dudarlo. Obvio. Pero la madre de la física moderna nunca tuvo que codirigir ningún proyecto con Levi Ward. A ver, Levi no está nada mal: es alto, moreno y tiene una mirada de lo más penetrante. Pero Levi dejó muy claros sus sentimientos por Bee en la universidad: es mejor que dos enemigos trabajen cada uno en su propia galaxia muy muy lejana. De pronto, Bee se encuentra con que su material ha desaparecido, el personal pasa de ella y su maltrecha carrera profesional pende de un hilo. Puede que su lóbulo occipital esté jugándole una mala pasada, pero juraría que Levi empieza a convertirse en su aliado, apoyando sus decisiones, secundando sus ideas... devorándola con esa mirada suya. Y las diferentes posibilidades traen a sus neuronas de cabeza. Sin embargo, cuando llega el momento de jugársela y arriesgar el corazón, solo hay una pregunta que importe: ¿Qué hará Bee Königswasser?

Jude was seven years old when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King. To win a place at the Court, she must defy him--and face the consequences. In doing so, she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, discovering her own capacity for bloodshed. But as civil war threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.

The Love Hypothesis
Ali Hazelwood · 2021
The Instant New York Times Bestseller and TikTok Sensation! As seen on THE VIEW! A BuzzFeed Best Summer Read of 2021 When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos. As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships—but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees. That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor—and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs. Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.
