I Need A Diverse Feminist Summer Reading List

Approaching my Junior year in college, I am yearning to read more feminist literature.  I have taken quite a few classes that have let me sample the subject, but I would like to compile a list of books to read this summer.  And I thought, where better to ask for help?

Here’s what I’m looking for:

1.  A variety- not just fiction, not just theory, a nice mixture of everything.  So I can switch it up now and again.

2.  Diverse authors- I want lots of women perspectives, the classic white woman movement, the bell hooks, the lesbian perspective, the third wave thinker, EVERYTHING!  Well, at least a little bit of everything.

3.  A good read-  Remember, this is summer reading, and as much as I enjoy Judith Butler, I just don’t think I could focus with so much sun in my eyes.

So please, suggestions, comments, whatever!  I want to further my feminist education this summer.  Also, if you have other media suggestions, such as movies, I’d welcome that too.  If people are interested, I’ll compile suggestions into a useable list for every eager young feminist like me out there.
