With the summer season right around the corner, I thought it was about time to start thinking about a reading list.

Here is a list of feminist literature to grace the lining of your beach bag this summer. Some of the titles are traditional must reads for any women's rights activists, some are fictional portrayals and some are just for plain inspiration. Make sure to share your own suggestions in the comments:
