Feminist City - Leslie Kern (Verso)
This one is tipped by youth activist Lauren: "This book is an inspiration for women to take up space in the city, historically designed as a 'city of men'. Kern wants to make clear that women are smart, brave, experienced and wise in the everyday choices they make. By placing women's experiences at the centre, this book encourages readers to rethink established structures. It argues that all urban planning decisions should include diverse voices. Kern takes you through her life in the city, providing an accessible introduction to feminist urbanism."

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in the art of words.
