REVOLUTIONARY & PROLETARIAN FEMINIST THEORY

Here, I provide links, PDFs, and ePUBs of some texts I'm basically referring to when I yell "read feminist theory". I am by no means an authority on this subject, though I'm constantly asked on where to start with educating oneself on women's liberation/gender liberation. Limited by my own nascent knowledge, this is by no means an exhaustive list, though I hope these texts provide a good starting point. (Note: as a bakla individual in the Philippines, I do place an emphasis on proletarian feminism in the Philippine context, and a critique of the Western gender model, alongside a decolonized and indigenized approach to gender.)
