I feel like this list could use some cleanup? There are a ton of liberal, third-wave feminists creeping onto this list. No way in hell is Roxane Gay a radical feminist. Betty Friedan? Kate Bornstein? Jessica Valenti?

Re: Rainbowheart: Good point. I'll remove the most obviously inappropriate titles, but I don't want to become the arbiter of what counts as radical feminism, since it is in some ways subjective. For example, I wouldn't classify Cordelia Fine's books as radical feminist, but others clearly do, so I don't consider it my place to remove them.

What is Radical, or not, can become subjective

Can someone remove Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism Create Difference? It's not a radical feminist text.

I'm not sure if the list creator Melissa is still around much, but she said she only wanted to remove "obviously inappropriate" titles. Delusions of Gender seems to be at least radical feminist friendly. I've seen it recommended several times.
