(4) YA This compilation of real women's gender discrimination narratives from the 1920s to the present day is halfway between browsable coffee table book and a collective memoir. Heavy on eye-popping graphic design but light on historical context, the book is commercially inspirational yet it lacks grounding in why gender has been an obstacle for women throughout the last decade.
