K McQuage's "Top 100 books of LibraryThing's Feminist Theory Group"

As of 06/19/2008

This is a list of shared books among the group members, so it is weighted toward women’s studies and women writers, but includes all shared books. I decided not to make any judgments and try to cull the list, but to leave it as it stands. Even we humorless feminists love Harry Potter!
