/lit/ - Literature

How? How is it done? Does someone stumble upon your book and just decide that it is worthy? Does someone feel the warmth of your words and choose to share that fire with those around them? Do you profess from a mountaintop that you are worthy and that those who hear it shall bow?
How does one get their work turned into a film?

What should I read to get the crash course on feminism? Is such a thing possible?

I'd like to better understand the waves of feminism, contemporary feminism, feministic activism, feminist perspective, leading feminist intellectuals, and any other sphere that would be important for me to best understand feminism on a macrocosmic scale.
