This is a great list. I’ve read 12 of these and agree that they would be great for the challenge.

Over the years I keep seeing The Women’s Room so I need to look into that one.

Thanks for the list!

I haven’t read the other comments yet, but let me say I’m amazed at the number of books on that list I’ve read — almost all of them. I may pick the ones I’ve missed. There were quite a handful that made me smile, remembering when everyone I knew was reading and discussing those books.

That’s an amazing list of books, Jill. I’ve read seven on the list, all of them good. Several other titles are book I’d like to eventually read. I wish I wasn’t on a challenge ban as the Women Unbound Reading Challenge is very tempting.

Silences, Woman Warrior, and Jane Eyre are all on my list. I have a different book by Paley on my list already and I think I might add Beloved also. Thanks for sharing. .-= Vasilly´s last blog ..Women Unbound Challenge =-.

Lots of these look good: I haven't made a list but will most likely be joining this great Challenge. I enjoyed The Yellow Wallpaper in college, and I actually like The Awakening quite a lot. I read Lessing's The Golden Notebook last year and it was well worth the effort; I also have a link to a group reading of it that I think is still up. And now I really, really want to take a look at A Bookshelf of our Own! Thanks for the info. .-= Melanie´s last blog ..Corduroy Mansions =-.

A BOOKSHELF OF OUR OWN sounds like a great resource – thanks for listing the books discussed.

I’ve seen some really positive reviews of WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGED, that would be another book I’d like to read …

We won’t lack for material for the Women Unbound Challenge! (I haven’t made my book list yet, either!)

So many books and not one I have read! *stressed* There are definitely a few that in the list that I intend to read. I'll keep the list for book ideas for the challenge. Thanks! .-= mee´s last blog ..R.I.P. IV Challenge Wrap-up =-.
