The Faulty Premise of Dua Lipa's 'Banned' Books Library

Pop singer Dua Lipa recently launched the "Manifesto Library" with 100 books at the Livraria Lello bookstore in Porto, Portugal. "The Manifesto Library is a space dedicated to books that challenge power, resist censorship, and amplify the voices that others seek to silence," said the official account of Lipa's book club. A full list of works in Lipa's library is available in Cosmopolitan, which states, "All of the titles were once banned or censored."
