Robert A. Johnson

Harpercollins, 1991

A Great Book
The book challenges many male conceptions. I love his quote of Creon, "Go then, and share your love among the dead, We'll have no woman's law here, while I live." This in response to Antigon's, "My way is to share my love, not share my hate." The book is helpful in understanding the male/female situation (in as much as it can possibly be understood!).

A wonderful place to start reading Marion Woodman

Femininity (Paladin Books)

Susan Brownmiller

Hunter Publishing+inc, 1986

It's About Time
I felt so relieved reading this. Finally there's a book that expresses my feelings about this "femininity" box I stuffed myself into in years past. It's a shame that women have to be so narrowly defined by shallow attributes. Personally I know for example that my feet won't fit into those pointy high-heeled girlie shoes and that I have much more important things to do with my time than ...

Leslie Ludy

Harvest House Publishers, 2008

Truly Life Changing
I'm so excited to be able to share how unbelievable this book is. For the first time my eyes were opened to how selfish and self-seeking my life has been. So many of us live with a deep core of self-centeredness without even realizing it! Leslie challenges the reader in a way I've never seen, and she presents truth in a bold, confident manner. So many young women don't have strong, sold out, ...

Joanne Hollows

Manchester University Press, 2000

Fashion and feminism--more compatible than we imagined
Hollows has produced a cutting-edge feminist analysis of feminine popular culture including such topics as fashion and beauty practices, women's film, etc. that were regarded by many second-wave feminists to be more "feminine" than "feminist". Hollows has re-examined the feminine/feminist dichotomy to explore how they have been constructed as competing or opposing social pressures. She is ...

Why not female circumsision?
