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.
A Vindication of the Rights of Women by Mary Wollstonecraft

I agree with Enid; and you do a beautiful job with keeping your blog/events so organized as well (you make me sick! LOL - just kidding!)
ReplyDeleteI've heard about the Beauty Myth and have meant to read that one.
Looks like some interesting reads happening.
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely awesome challenge!
ReplyDeleteWill definitely sign up, thanks for posting about this :)
Looks like a great challenge. My resolution this year is no challenges! I need to read what I own this year. I'll be looking forward to the reviews!
ReplyDeleteI'm in! This sounds like an interesting group of books!
ReplyDeleteWow, I admire you for all challenges you are taking on!
ReplyDeleteI am just reluctant because I don't want to to NOT finish them, but my time may be scarce this year and changing jobs is a blah atm..so yeah! XD
