I got Kathleen Hanna when I

I got Kathleen Hanna when I took the quiz. Funny, I never saw myself as a punk rocker...

Anyway, on to what we should read. I would also like to talk about Simone de Beauvoir. I actually bought The Second Sex awhile ago and never got past page 40. But she's definitely one of the big names that I would like to have under my belt.

Other than that I think I would like to read literature written by women, admittedly works that are part of the feminist "canon." I don't want to continue on dismissing the canon (as many of the articles we read would have us do) before I am familiar with it. So perhaps more Virginia Woolf, Gertrude Stein, Edith Wharton, the Brontes or Jane Austen... I have not read Jane Eyre or any Jane Austen other than Pride and Prejudice. Makes me feel like a bad feminist... just kidding. But I would like to try.
