And that isn't all of the titles I own either, yet. I still have some more to post here. Once I finish reading some of the books I am in the middle of right now I think I'll start reading them. And the thing is I never went to College to take some Women's Studies courses. I just decided I wanted to learn something about Femnism and the Women's Movement and started buying these books.
