For the second time in the award’s 12-year history, all five nominees are female, and three are women of colour — a notable accomplishment in a literary landscape where the major prizes continue to be dominated by white men.

5 Under 35 is an annual prize that honours five young and promising fiction writers, each selected by a National Book Award Winner or Finalist.

Brittney Cooper - Beyond Respectability: The Intellectual Thought of Race Women

Brittney Cooper is a Black feminist theorist who specializes in the study of Black women’s intellectual history, Hip Hop generation feminism, and race and gender representation in popular culture.

  
It is a collection of biographies of incredible women in history, that was written in a witty and very enjoyable way. Every woman had something to teach us, and it actually boosted my self-confidence, while reading it. The authors picked very particular women, not necessarily very well known ones, but very admirable and influential nevertheless.

Some of these women might’ve seemed negative, but every single one had something to teach us, and let’s be honest, we are not angels sometimes either.

"I read it in my teens and it hooked me on mysterious China! I love novels about China and its history and culture, especially the story of women; so complex and colorful, and often so twisted, too."
