Comments for the Women Unbound Challenge

Woman Unbound ChallengeThe Women Unbound Challenge: 11/08/09

There is a new reading challenge that focuses on women's studies and feminism. There's a three question meme that goes with the challenge but I'm not going to answer them. I'm also not going to list the books I plan to read because I don't know which books, or how many, I'll manage to read.

The challenge runs from November 1, 2009 to November 30, 2010.

I can tell you that the challenge will include these three books (as I've read them in November but still need to review them:

There are three levels of reading to the challenge:

  • Philogynist: read at least two books, including at least one nonfiction one.

  • Bluestocking: read at least five books, including at least two nonfiction ones.

  • Suffragette: read at least eight books, including at least three nonfiction ones.

My list completed includes:

  1. Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll
  2. The Bungalow Mystery by Carolyn Keane
  3. Right to Remain Silent by Penny Warner
  4. Harriet Beecher Stowe by Suzanne M Coil
  5. So B. It by Sarah Weeks
  6. Madras on Rainy Days by Samina Ali
  7. The X in Sex by David Bainbridge
  8. Don't Say Ain't by Irene Smalls
  9. D.A. by Connie Willis
  10. Calamity Jack by Shannon Hale
  11. The Clue of the Tapping Heels by Carolyn Keene
  12. War, Women and the News by Catherine Gourley
  13. The Secret Science Alliance and the Copycat Crook by Eleanor Davis
  14. My One Hundred Adventures by Polly Horvath
  15. Civil War on Sunday (Magic Tree House #21) by Mary Pope Osborne
  16. The Kayla Chroincles by Sherri Winston
  17. Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
  18. Under the Lemon Trees by Bhira Backhaus
  19. Here Lies the Librarian by Richard Peck
  20. Bird by Rita Murphy
  21. Kiss My Math by Danica McKellar
  22. Elena's Serenade by Campbell Geeslin
  23. Monsoon Summer by Mitali Perkins
  24. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith and Jane Austen

I'm glad you're going to do this challenge. I also understand why you don't want to do the meme. But I will be looking forward to your reviews and any other thoughts you share! (I've got The Kayla Chronicles on my long list for this challenge.)

I'm just too young to have participated in the sort of protests and stuff that the meme addresses. I'm well aware that things aren't peachy around the world but I see these things as part of a much bigger picture that is more complex than the rights of men vs. the rights of women.

I'm so glad you have decided to do this reading challenge. And I'm interested in what you have to say about "Mrs. Dalloway" because I plan to read it in December when my book club reads Michael Cunningham's "The Hours." I understand that he has reworked her book to create a new story, using as his title the one she used while writing "Mrs. Dalloway." It ought to be an interesting comparison.

I've both read the book and seen the movie of the The Hours and enjoyed both versions. It is because of the Cunningham's novel that I'm going back to read Mrs. Dalloway.
