...A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers, The Terraformers by Anna Lee Newitz.
As an adult, I almost never re-read. The exceptions so far are Jane Austen and Doris Lessing.
I think that is enough for now ;)

although less in the 80s and 90s than I do now, when the field has gotten much more interesting. Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy is one of the greats. Written in the 70s, it really hits on the necessity of revolution. See also Babel by RF Kuang, The Book of Phoenix by Nnedi Okorafor... 4/

In junior high, I read a 1959 novel called Mary Jane by Dorothy Stirling, which was about the integration of an all-white school. I grew up in the suburbs of Toronto so learned a lot from it. I've read sf&f for my entire life... 3/

Alcott's An Old-fashioned Girl, Noel Streatfeild, especially gender rebel Petrova in Ballet Shoes, Swallows and Amazon's, and the lovely The Wind on the Moon by Eric Linklater. Madeleine L'Engel and so many others. 2/

I have read voraciously since early childhood and am now in my 60s. I found out about suffragettes when I saw the movie Mary Poppins and read lots of children's books and bios about them. I sought out books where girls did interesting things. This was the 1960s so there weren't many. 1/

Albion's Fatal Tree: Crime and Society in Eighteenth-Century England by D. Hay, P. Linebaugh, J.G. Rule E.P.Thompson, and C. Winslow. Was formative.
