The Mermaid and Mrs. Hancock by Imogen Hermes Gowar.  I enjoyed this book very much - the concept of the mermaid was handled in a way I found reminiscant of Peter S. Beagle's The Last Unicorn.  I feel in love with Mrs. Hancock as she also kept pet mice.

I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced by Nujood Ali with Delphine Minoui.  Another book that reinforced my deep mistrust and disgust with men and the patriarchy.

By Her Own Hand: Memoirs of a Suicide's Daughter by Signe Hammer.  I was not prepared by how close to home this book would hit me.  After finishing this book I went into the mental hospital for suicidal ideation.

Victoria: A Life by A. N. Wilson.  I started reading this non-fiction in the mental hospital.  An excellent biography of a Queen who WAS instead of a Queen who DID.
