A YEAR OF FEMINIST CLASSICS

From: A Year of Feminist Classics.

The project will work a little like an informal reading group: for the whole of 2011, we’ll be reading a book a month from this list of classic feminist fiction and non-fiction, and each of us will be in charge of the subsequent discussion for three months.
