Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce

3.0

A girl pretending to be a boy! Hiding her feelings and wants and needs! Getting her period and binding her chest! Embracing her own power! Ohhh I wish I would’ve read this when I was younger.

I love how feminist literature leaves room for multiple interpretations: e.g. Jonathan vs. Alannah’s perceptions of Duke Roger.
