Children are on the front line to fight against gender stereotypes, sexism and carry the fight for feminism in their generation. However, it is not always easy to find the right words to explain this noble cause to them. To help you out, we've put together a list of books on how to talk about feminism at your best.
Champions of equality! Sexism and gender stereotypes, it is high time to say no to these preconceived ideas that arbitrarily punctuate the lives of our children. In the old days, it was customary to mix trades, clothes, toys and even colors. While no, loving pink will not turn your little boy into a girl and if your teenager wants to become a site manager, it is entirely possible. The most important thing is that your child thrives in his choices.
As parents, it is important to be aware of all the stereotypes you have been steeped in to avoid reproducing these patterns on the younger generation. Also, finding the right words to explain feminism can sometimes be complicated, depending on the age of your child. To make it easier for you, we have prepared a non-exhaustive list of books to explain the importance of feminism to your child, depending on their age.
Playful and explanatory, these feminist-focused books examine this social movement by portraying several figures such as Virginia Woolf, Simone de Beauvoir, Pina Bausch, Angela Davis, Oprah Winfrey, Calamity Jane, Alexandra David-Néel, Emma Watson or Malala Yousafzai. These books try to shatter stereotypes and inspire the little ones.
