Wow, I fail...

I decided I was going to go big or go home, I got some new contributors on board (hi Chi!), did a ton of brainstorming (I am good at that) and then of course lost momentum when it came to follow through... no real surprise there.

I plan to be back for real this time. I do have some of what I feel are solid ideas... I also found this book list of essential feminist readings, my goal over the next year or so is to read as many as possible.
So far I have read the following:
2. The Feminine Mystique - Betty Friedan
(Haven't quite finished, but I have started it multiple times)
8. The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used... - Naomi Wolf
(Also haven't finished, I am so bad about reading multiple books at once)
9. Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
(See above, I suck at life)
10. Full Frontal Feminism - Jessica Valenti
(Horrible book, see review in a previous blog post)
15. Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture - Ariel Levy
(Excellent, highly recommend!)
18. Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power... - Jaclyn Friedman, Jessica Valenti
(My most recent read, will post a review soon)
31. Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting Ahead in America - Barbara Ehrenreich
97. The Color Purple - Alice Walker

Eight out of one-hundred isn't a bad place to start... I suppose.
