Our Shared Shelf discussion

I grew up in a super conservative Christian world where feminism was a bad word. My husband was
The first real feminist I met and he continually empowers me. I am now just starting to seek out books on the history of feminism and am somewhat ashamed to say this is my first - but definitely NOT my last. The interweaving of the feminist movement and civil rights had never occurred to me. I am so thankful to have read this book! Can't wait for the next recommendation!

Dear Aimee!

"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."

And remember: It's never too late to start!

It was my first feministic book either, at least where I knew it was feministic( but can't think of an earlier one), and it was not my last. Emma chooses the books in a great way, I could learn fom every single book at least a bit. I plan to read Maya Angelou's works too, and other works by Gloria Steinem and Alice Walker.

You know, anything's possible if you've got enough nerve.
