# Feminist Literature for Computer Scientists

We ([Égalité Femmes-Hommes IRISA & INRIA](https://egalite-fh.irisa.fr/)) started a list of literature that treats feminist topics with regards to computer science. This includes anything about important women in the field, sexism arising in particular in this area, industry related or research related.

The gender-equality groupes is regularly buying new books to complete this library. **If there is a book that you think would be of interest in our lab, please add to the list below.** *If you fill in "Suggested by" with your name, we will get back to you when the book is available.*
