How to suppress women's writing (Joanna Russ). Demonstates the uses of rhetoric -- both against a group and by that group to fight back. Written 38 years ago and still exceptionally relevant. An exceptionally useful prequel to any higher education, as Russ shines a bright light on the bullshit industry.
The Periodic Table (Primo Levi). A chemist, inspired by 21 elements, meditates on life and science. A prisoner of Auschwitz ponders how he and how his torturers survived. Swerving between memoir and fiction, humanities and science.
Beloved (Toni Morrison). Magical realism demonstrates how chattel slavery destroys humanity, and how some people can survive even so.
