I'm not quite finished yet, but I will soon.

Wow, good lists. I enjoyed For Her Own Good by Barbara Ehrenreich - I accidentally read the older version, which I wish I hadn't done, b/c there are about 15 years that are not covered in which I am sure Ehrenreich has interesting things to say. Get the updated version if you can.

Also, please let us know what you think of Jessica Valenti's book. Have you read her other one - Full Frontal Feminism? I love the Feministing blog.

Nine Parts of Desire is a fine, informative read. You can also consider it for Women's Issues and Religious Issues as well as Non-fiction. It's about Islam and women's roles.
