Feminist librarians have fought for recognition through the decades: feminist history and women's library history are intertwined.

Since 2002, Rise: A Feminist Book Project (formerly the Amelia Bloomer Project) has created an annual booklist of the best feminist books for young readers, ages birth through 18. We are part of the Feminist Task Force of the Social Responsibilities Round Table of the American Library Association. 2020 challenged all of us. A pandemic physically separated us. In the midst of loss, isolation, and injustice, we forged new paths of togetherness. We created new models of community. We developed new tools. We connected with our loved ones virtually. We took to the streets in protest.

"These are booklists on some of our most popular and asked for topics. The subjects that have small triangles next to them have additional sub-categories so be sure to keep digging!"
