	Laura gave to: Look Both Ways: Bisexual Politics (Hardcover) by Jennifer Baumgardner	my rating:
	read in October, 2007 Laura said: "Admittedly, I bought the book because it's written by Amy Ray's awesome ex-girlfriend who is in every way articulate, intelligent, and kick ass.

	Laura gave to: Female Masculinity (Paperback) by Judith Halberstam	my rating:
	read in October, 2007 Laura said: "I have to scrap my initial review. This is one hell of a book. Halberstam calls for a much more complex and nuanced conception of gender than what dominant culture currently recognizes. This was a provocative read; I'm still mulling it over. " add a comment

	Laura said: "This book is awesome. I'm reading it for thesis work but recommend it to you even if you are not an unabashed and wholescale nerd. My only gripe-- having nothing to do with the content or the author-- is that this book is pigeon-holed on the back c...more " add a comment
	Laura gave to: Selling Women Short: The Landmark Battle For Workers' Rights At Wal-Mart (Paperback) by Liza Featherstone	my rating:
	Laura said: "Journalism and not literature, but definitely compelling. Be forewarned that you will never be able to walk into a Walmart without having an enormously guilty conscience and feeling utterly ashamed of yourself ever again. You will simply have to acc...more " add a comment
