The Philosopher's Flight by Tom Miller

How I Found: I was looking for a book that would bend gender expectations in a unique way, and I found it! Taking place in U.S. History this book utilized some Steampunk tricks to unravel both history and gender. In a world where Philosophers can only be women, we see what it would be like if the gender expectations were turned upside down. This novel allows us to re-imagine the past with a little bit of magic that doesn’t subvert the story. 
Why You Might Read: If you’ve ever questioned societal expectations because they didn’t fit you, you’ll want to join Robert Weeks, as he ventures into a world not built with him in mind. Where you’ll learn along that, if you feel called to be a part of something that wants to exclude you, it’s best to heed the call because “If you don’t answer you’ll lose the better part of yourself.”
