Emma Watson’s Insanely good feminist Book Club picks that will make you smarter

Heya! I heard you’re looking for some feminist book club picks for your next book club meet. Look no further, I’ve got just the thing.

As a feminist myself, I am so excited to read from Emma Watson’s feminist book club picks.

As a woman, feminist books have always allowed me to feel empowered and educated. As with most books, the more you read the smarter you feel, the same could be said for feminist literature- but perhaps more so as they make you feel well adjusted enough to take on the patriarchy, like Margot Robbie in the 2023 Barbie movie. From funny to sad, fiction to non-fiction, feminist books remind me that I’m not alone. Feminist literature is like a living library of stories: from groundbreaking classics that shaped history to modern novels that empower young women today. There’s something truly transformative about picking up the right feminist book at just the right moment. And if you’ve ever gone searching for the best books on feminism, or wondered which books every feminist should read, you’ll know the list is always growing and evolving with us.

One person many feminists often turn to for inspiration on this journey is Emma Watson. Many know her as Hermoine Granger, but to me- and to so many others- she’s also a feminist icon and UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. Emma Watson has shared some of the most moving and essential feminist reads, memoirs, fiction, biographies, and powerful books about gender equality and feminism. Her recommendations feel less like a celebrity list and more like a friend gently passing you a book that just might change your life.

In this post, I’ve gathered some of the feminist book club picks recommended by Emma Watson. Whether you’re searching for memoirs, novels that highlight the voices of Black women in fiction, or even just a starting point for your own feminist book club and find the best feminist books.
