Melissa Lucashenko is a writer of grit and substance. Her 2019 offering Too Much Lip was shortlisted for both the 2019 Stella Prize and the 2019 Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for fiction, and no wonder. Darkly funny, yet hopeful, Lucashenko has crafted a narrative that draws you right into the world of Kerry Salter, a witty roamer with penchant for avoiding the hard stuff until it’s too late. But when her dad’s health begins to fail and she’s on the brink of doing hard time, Kerry has to head back to the hometown she’s avoided for so long, unknowingly in search of closure.

‘Clothes can speak for us, when we cannot … fashion can be defiant, revolutionary, wild, compliant, challenging, or camouflaging.’ – Maxine Beneba Clarke

This children’s book is for anyone who sees fashion as an art form that shifts the way we think and interact with the world. Filled with joyous collages of larger than life figures such as Prince and Beyonce flaunting their lewks across the page, Maxine Beneba Clarke (author of The Hate Race, The Patchwork Bike, Wide Big World and more) encourages the reader to embrace their individuality, let their creativity run wild, and most importantly, have fun! It’s a delight.

About Bloody Time: the Menstrual Revolution We Have to Have Karen Pickering and Jane Bennett
$30
→ Buy online now via the VWT Shop

About Bloody Time makes the case for menstrual revolution as an essential key to unlocking gender equality. Thousands of women and girls shared their experience of menstruation and menopause. The results were clear. Shame. Stigma. Humiliation. Disgust. Negative attitudes are pervasive, entrenched, and harmful.

Co-written by Karen Pickering (feminist organiser) and Jane Bennett (menstrual educator) this book digs deep into the menstrual taboo: where it exists, how it came to be and why it’s so resilient. Our culture asks women and girls to view their bodies through a prism of negativity and fear. This book is here to change that.

Don’t Get Mad, Get Elected! A2 poster Carol Porter
$15
→ Buy online now via the VWT Shop

Created by Australian artist Carol Porter, this artwork was commissioned by the Victorian Women’s Trust in 1997, reprinted with permission from the State Library of Victoria and it was also the direct inspiration for Michelle Pereira’s 2019 artwork of the same name (also available from the VWT Shop).

This poster has proven to be a winner with women on all sides of politics and even made it’s way into parliament. Pairs well with Danish political drama Borgen — or better yet, the recent ABC series Total Control — along with a dash of riot grrl music, and a good ol’ fashioned feminist protest (lord knows we need more of that).

the witch doesn’t burn in this one Amanda Lovelace
$24.99
→ Buy online now via Readings Bookstore

The witch has long been an icon for women’s rights. It makes sense — she’s an empowered, independent woman, persecuted for breaking social norms and challenging male dominated power structures. In some ways, she’s the first feminist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In this collection of poems, Lovelace navigates a woman’s resilient, empowered journey through womanhood, tracing her struggle for equality along the lines of a witch’s trial, condemned for no other reason than for the sake of being a woman. This gift is a sure-fire way to bewitch your friends and inspire a bit of witch-iness in your favourite feminist’s life.
