Emma Watson’s Feminist Book Club IS Happening — But Will J.K. Rowling Be Joining?

On Wednesday afternoon, Emma Watson broke the Internet with her announcement that she might be starting a feminist book club — and on Thursday morning, she made it official: the Emma Watson “Our Shared Shelf” book club is really happening. Take a moment to hyperventilate into a paper bag if you need, because there’s more to come. Like, the fact that J.K. Rowling could be in it.

According to Book Riot, 2015 is going to be the year of the feminist YA novel.

"That’s not an indictment against any other YA years nor any of the amazing feminist novels that came before. Rather, 2015 is the year when keeping track of feminist novels becomes hard because they are abundant. Because they’re going to change the course of conversation.
It’s a year where feminists of all shapes and sizes, of all colors and identities, are having their voices heard and shared with readers who are hungry for them. This is a year when discussions will stop being about whether a female character is or isn’t strong. Instead, discussions will be about all of the amazing ways in which a female character is strong.
It will be a year of talking about why we fail our girls — AND our boys AND those who don’t identify as either a boy or a girl — by refusing to talk about and acknowledge the biggest, scariest, most damning “f” word of all: feminism.” (x)

Here’s an essential reading list of YA Books for the Feminist Reader.

There’s a million reasons why this phenomenon is rare — ranging from the “this is my baby and I refuse to change the ending, dialogue, plot device, or cut even a single word” to the simple fact that studios want a well-established, well-vetted screenwriter with whom to trust their millions of dollars. But over the years, there have been a few other cases where a writer writing the screenplay for his or her own novel has worked extremely well. Here’s a top five.
