A Year of Feminist Classics

A Year of Feminist Classics

What: "A Year of Feminist Classics is a project started by Amy, Ana, Emily Jane and Iris, four book bloggers who share an interest in the feminist movement and its history. The project will work a little like an informal reading group: for all of 2011, we will each month read what we consider to be a central feminist text, with one of us being in charge of the discussion. We invite all readers to join us".
When: Year 2011
Why: Because I'm a feminist and one of my minor subjects is Gender Studies. It will be usefull to read the books, but I think it will also be fun, since this challenge allows me to discuss the classics with others.
My Goal: Has changed. Now I aim to read at least six of the books and participate in the discussion OR post a review here about all the books I read for this challenge. I realized I don't have enough time to fully participate, and I'll give myself promision to review books any time of the year, not only during the month they are discussed in the website of the challenge.
Reviews: No, but I will either post about the discussion questions here or participate in the discussion in the main blog of thss challenge.
Prize: When/if I complete this challenge, I'll buy myself a new bra.
