One more reading challenge to include for next year for me. A topic that has always been dear to my heart.

Goal:
The project works a little like an informal reading group: for the whole of 2011, we’ll be reading a book a month from a list of classic feminist fiction and non-fiction (see below).

fyi: you don’t have to commit for the whole twelve months – you’re more than free to pick only the books you’re interested in.
