Jen Kennedy and Liz Linden run a website called Contemporary Feminism, and we’ve asked them to create a list of ten books that any self-respecting woman would have on her bookshelf. “We’ve made the assignment a little easier by selecting from what’s available in our project book swap, which is part of an exhibition titled “The Missing Library,” the duo writes. “It’s a constantly evolving feminist library where visitors are encouraged to take a book from the collection in exchange for leaving one from their own. You can keep these books for a day, a week, or a lifetime, as long as you leave a different book — any other book that you think is feminist — behind.” Click through to check out their selections, and if you’re in New York, visit The Missing Library at the Dumbo Arts Center before they close up shop on August 14th.
The Complete Poems: 1927-1979 by Elizabeth Bishop
Life is better with Elizabeth Bishop close at hand. If you can’t make it to The Missing Library, you can view some of her poems here or find more information about her on her Poetry Foundation page here.

If you’re interested in fashion & gender politics the book Sex and Suits by Anne Hollander is fucking awesome.
Feminism is an institutionalized Anti-Men ideology and practice.
Feminism is now just a VANITY MOVEMENT that criminalizes men.

why doesn’t the headline read “their” shelf.
J-Dawg, run along or your mother will find out you’ve been on the computer outside of designated internet hours again.
I’m rather disappointed with this list. How could you leave out The Female Eunuch by Germaine Greer, Black Feminist Thoughtt by Patrica Hill Collins, or anything by bell hooks or from the third wave?
Wow — this grouping of books must have been found at an estate sale. It’s vintage!
And where is The Second Sex, by Simone de Beauvoir?
