On the beach, Reading List

(Download PDF)


‘On the beach’, is a feminist reading group, initiated in 2016, with a subscription audience who use it as a reading list, and a loosely organised book club, who meet for open and ongoing conversation about books, art and feminism. With a regular monthly meeting since 2014 we have now read over 50 texts. Please see below our list of previous texts.
