PD James "Death of An Expert Witness"
Jessica Valenti "Full Frontal Feminism"
On "Full Frontal Feminism", I read it not because I need an introduction to feminism, but just out of interest. I think it's an excellent book to introduce young women to feminism, but it also makes me incredibly thankful not to live in the US. I know the UK has major problems, and needs to do a hell of a lot for equality, but really, we're nowhere near as bad as America. If you don't think so, read the book, it's horrendous some of the things a so-called developed country does to half of its citizens.
It'd be nice if we had some decent British feminist overview type books, there are a few American ones now, "Manifesta" off the top of my head, but nothing equivalent that I know of in the UK. I hope it doesn't take our country screwing over women that much until we get one.
And, I've got a few days left yet, I may well read more.
