Seeking Reading Lists for Free Women’s Studies Summer Class

Hello all,

 I’m teaching a Women’s Studies class this summer in the Columbus, Ohio community. As I compile a reading list, I’m open to hearing suggestions. A little information about this class:

 -I’m designing this class for women who are not in the university. All are welcome, but the class will be directed toward women who are unlikely to encounter Women’s Studies or ideas about feminism in their everyday lives.

 -I’m looking for essays, articles, short stories, poetry, or books (relatively short works) that provide interesting or unusual descriptions of women’s everyday experiences. For example, Judy Syphers Brady’s “I Want a Wife” is not only accessible but unusual and thought-provoking.

 -We will meet weekly or bi-weekly (contingent on the schedules of the women able to participate) in mid to late summer for about 6-10 weeks.

 Thanks for your reading suggestions!
