Challenge: A Year of Feminist Classics (2011)

Another challenge! This time it's about reading a selection of classic feminist tomes, one (or two) for each month. The people of A Year of Feminist Classics are going to have discussion questions on their blog, so that should be fun. (And, you know, academic!)

The book list is:

• January: A Vindication of the Rights of Women by Mary Wollestonecraft AND So Long a Letter by Mariama Ba
• February: The Subjection of Women by John Stuart Mill and Harriet Taylor Mill
• March: A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen
• April: Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
• May: A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf
• June: God Dies by the Nile by Nawal Saadawi
• July: The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir
• August: The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston
• September: The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf
• October: Ain’t I a Woman? by bell hooks AND Third World Women and the Politics of Feminism Anthology
• November: Gender Trouble by Judith Butler
• December: Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde

I might not read all of them (hell, I might not read any of them -- or in fact, I might not be able to get hold of any of them) but it's an interesting concept.
