THE PATRIARCHY SURVIVAL KIT

$40.00

The Patriarchy Survival Kit is not self-help. It is literary reinforcement. This curated bundle gathers three titles by women who interrogate appetite, power, embodiment, and inheritance without softening their work for approval. These books explore desire without apology, rage as clarity, the body as archive, family systems without romanticism, and ambition without shrinkage. They are rigorous, unornamental, and unwilling to perform likability in exchange for legitimacy.

This bundle is for readers who are tired of being talked over, underestimated, or told to calm down. It offers language that confronts instead of decorates and stories that refuse to negotiate their own authority. Buy it for yourself, for your daughter, or for the friend who is finished bargaining with her worth.

Meriwether Clarke’s debut collection of poems, BODY MEMORY, traces the formation of identity against a landscape of gendered dehumanization, alienation, and violence. With lyrical clarity, her poems illuminate an interior voice searching for independence and connection amidst personal loss, social isolation, and righteous rage. Both tender and fierce, Clarke’s poems reveal an essential perspective on contemporary femininity.

Debutiful Named MOUTH One of the Best Debut Short Story Collections of 2025

In MOUTH, Kerry Donoghue’s provocative debut, the ways we consume—from the drinks we can't put down to the lovers we can’t resist—reveal deeper hungers we often keep hidden. A competitive eater, a rodeo clown, a pearl diver, and a mermaid-in-training are just a few of the outsiders in this collection, each grappling with their own consuming desires. Whether through alcohol, infidelity, or chasing perfection, these characters are forced to confront what they’re truly starving for—and who they become when they can't fill that void. MOUTH asks: when our appetites define us, how do we survive the hunger?

THE CRITERIA explores unconventional, and at times highly problematic, motherhood. The characters struggle with impossible choices that often lead to heartbreaking behaviors. In the titular story, the main character takes on the burden of breastfeeding infants whose mothers have fallen in while at the same time struggling with the fate of her own infant. Another story imagines a scenario in which the mother/child bond is prohibited, and drastic measures taken to ensure its prevention. The characters are asked to suffer many tragedies, as well as to embrace hope in the most unlikely places.
