I wouldn't be the feminist I am today without this book.

[Dolores Greco]

This was amazing collection of stories, essays and poems.

[Alison]

Read this (or several parts) for my Women's Studies class junior year at Monmouth College. I remember liking several things, but the only one I can really remember was something about Baby X or Child X. It really influenced me (even if I can't remember the name.)

Reading selected articles. All well written- but interestingly enough a few I've already read in my Women in American History (early and modern) classes.
