Forbidden Shitty: Forbidden City by William Bell

Title: Forbidden City by William Bell
Genre: YA Historical Fiction
Pro-Feminist content:
Rage-Induction: >:(   >:(

This blog is supposed to focus in on feminism in YA literature, and for some reason in the conception of it, I expected to focus on female protagonists.  For some reason, male protagonists usually slip through my mind easily.  I mean, I can barely remember the last time I read another book with a male protagonist.  However, according to my GoodReads list, this year 19 out of the 44 books I've read feature males as either the sole protagonist or one of a few voices (male or female).
