Last year I enjoyed joining in the discussions at the Year of Feminist Classics blog. Among others we discussed John Stuart Mills’ The Subjection of Women, Mary Wollstonecrafts’ A Vindication of the Rights of Women and Charlotte Gilman Perkins’ Herland.
Now, a new year, and a new list.
- February – Feminism is for Everybody by bell hooks (Amy)
- March – The Book of the City of Ladies by Christine De Pizan (Jean)
- April – Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity by Julia Serano (Cass)
- May – Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë read alongside Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys (Iris)
- June – Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg (Emily)
- July – Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (Nancy)
- August – The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison (Lauren)
- September – Borderlands/La Frontera by Gloria Anzaldua (Melissa)
- October – The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan (Jodie)
- November – Beyond the Veil by Fatema Mernissi (Ana)
- December – Women, Race, and Class by Angela Davis (Emily Jane)
- January – Feminism Without Borders: Decolonizing Theory, Practising Solidarity by Chandra Talpade Mohanty (Eva)
This time around, each book will have a discussion leader. In July I will lead the discussion of Louisa May Alcott’s well-known novel for girls, Little Women. Fellow feminist Jean Ping will be helping me with this.
There’s nothing to join, no entrance fees, and no commitment. Please stop by as often as you like to enjoy the discussions and bring your own point of view to the party.
