Developing reading lists might be useful in lots of DU groups. One of my best friends is a former Women's Studies prof, so I've been meaning to ask her for some reading suggestions for some time, and the Dworkin thread rekindled my interest. While I have a general personal preference for academic treatments, my background is weak, so a general introduction or two might be good along with more seminal work. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Might recommended reading be a good topic to stick at the top of group forums generally?

I read that one for the first time after my 2003 divorce and it really made an impact. Feminism Is For Everybody by bell hooks is another good one.

I haven't posted in this forum before, but I would love some feminist theory book recommendations too! Both classics and cutting edge.
