<i><font size="1">Thanks Jamie.</font></i><br><br>Here's one that I don't think anyone else will mention but in a way it's a manual to genderqueerness in Science Fiction form, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triton_%28novel%29" target="_blank"><i>Triton</i>, by Samuel Delany</a> is worth getting in, and would be a kind of interesting and weird addition.<br>
<br>I also think that any kind of accessible reader of Judith Butler,
any kind of easy enjoyable version of her ideas would be really
important- more important than having her actual books. I have
something called "Judith Butler live theory" by Vicki Kirby but haven't
really opened it up enough to see if it's any good.<br>
<br>Also if it hasn't been mentioned a really well written and
accessible and thorough Introduction to Feminism would be essential of
course.<br><br>Jamie<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 13 April 2010 12:28, Jamie Heckert <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jamie.heckert@gmail.com">jamie.heckert@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<br>Fiction-wise:<br><br>Ursula le Guin - Always Coming Home, The Left Hand of Darkness, The Dispossessed, and everything else :)<br>
<br>Octavia E. Butler - Parable of the Sower, Parable of the Talents, Wildseed<br><br>Marge Piercy - Woman on the Edge of Time, Body of Glass<br><br>Laurie J. Marks - The Elemental Logic series ( beautiful Marxist/Buddhist/queer stories about occupation, identity and revolution)<br>
<br>Dorothy Allison - Bastard out of Carolina (autobiographical fiction - beautiful and painful!)<br><br>Starhawk - The Fifth Sacred Thing<br><br>Non-Fiction:<br><br>Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz's autobiographical works starting with Read Dirt.<br>
<br>Threads by Lisa (feminist health)<br><br>Undoing Gender by Judith Butler (bit heavy, maybe, but her most accessible and certainly moreso than some things in Freedom :) )<br><br>Feminism without Borders by Chandra Mohanty<br>
<br>Wild: An Elemental Journy by Jay Griffiths (poetic anarcha-indigenous travel writing)<br><br>Zeros & Ones by Sadie Plant (beautiful book on women and technology)<br><br>The Ecology of Everyday Life by Chaia Heller (anarcha-ecofeminist classic)<br>
<br>The Arts of the Possible by Adrienne Rich (as well as her other works).<br><br>Love,<br>Jamie<br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div>On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 12:57 AM, Emma Pooka <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:purplepooka@blueyonder.co.uk" target="_blank">purplepooka@blueyonder.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

many to list, but I just recently finished ‘Caliban and the Witch’ by Silvia
Federici and can’t recommend it highly enough. Really thorough analysis of how
the shift from feudalism to capitalism required a drastic change in the social
status of women and necessitated a campaign of mass persecution (the witch
hunts) to create that social role.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(95, 73, 122);">Also,
just offhand, ‘How to Suppress Women’s Writing’ by Joanna Russ. She’s just so
incisive and witty and wonderful.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hey hey all,<br>
<br>
One of the collective at Freedom Bookshop in London asked me if I could suggest
any good books on women/gender/feminism-type issues that they could stock in
order to improve their list - and I thought I'd throw it open to all of you. <br>
<br>
What are your old favourites and new discoveries?<br>
What do you think other people might want to buy?<br>
Feminist type stuff much welcomed, but equally any other really good
reccomendations on other subjects (or even fiction) also appreciated.<br>
<br>
Many thanks<br>
Jae</p>
