The F-word discussion

I want to kick things off for the April nominations by adding Kari Aguila's dystopian feminist novel Women's Work to the fiction list. I just read it and thought it would be a great book to discuss with the group!



Please feel free to nominate fiction and non-fiction selections you would be interested in reading for April in the comments below.

Orlando by Virginia Woolf

Bloodchild and Other Stories by Octavia Butler

&

Vagina: Revised and Updated by Naomi Wolf

I'm going to be selfish and nominate books I currently have on my shelf

fiction -
The Handmaid's Tale
A Thousand Splendid Suns

non-fiction -
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

I'd also really like to read Orlando as well :)

I'd like to check out A Thousand Splendid Suns as well! And Jennifer, we are reading Bloodchild in Feminist Science Fiction Fans this month if you'd like to join the discussion :)

Some books off of my TBR list that might work for this group (but I haven't read them, so I'm not sure).
The Holder of the World
Beyond Black
No One is Here Except All of Us
Dangerous Women
How Should a Person Be?
Letters to Alice on First Reading Jane Austen
Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women
(Or am I only allowed one nomination in each category? If so, sorry!)

Nominate as many as you like! There are some great titles in your list :)

Alexa, that looks a great list, all books I haven't heard of before!

Could I nominate A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf please? (If it hasn't been done already)

Just added it to my "Want to Read" list tonight, as I've been to get to it FOREVER!!

Oooops! I've added it on. Thanks Alexa!

The polls are up!! Get votin'!

Which books won? And is it possible to get links to the polls included in the thread asking for votes? I'm on a mobile device and polls don't show up at the top like they do on a web page.

Women's work and a room of ones own! I'll post links in the thread next time. Are you using the goodreads app? It is terrible! So many limitations.
