Reviving Ophelia - Mary Bray Pipher
Childless by Choice - Irene Reti (ed.)
Bad Behavior - Mary Gaitskill
I love Mary Gaitskill's quick wit and even sharper imagery. Her first book, a collection of short stories, is a great, unsentimental stark look at the realities of life.
The Body Project - Joan Jacobs Brumberg
The Last Time I Wore a Dress - Daphne Scholinski
This account of a woman with gender identity disorder is a painful one, but necessary and meaningful to all of us who have struggled at one time or another with our identity and rebelled against parents and institutions trying to make us something we aren't.
Coming of Age in Samoa - Margaret Mead
Dreams of an Insomniac - Irena Klepfisz and Evelyn Torton Beck
Angry Candy
Because They Wanted To - Mary Gaitskill
Two Girls. One Fat One Thin - Mary Gaitskill
Listen Up! - Voices From the Next Feminist Generation - Barbara Findlen (ed.)
Through the intensely personal and brilliantly honest stories, this anthology of the next generation of young women is a thought-provoking, entertaining, and very important part of modern feminism.
