| Author | Barbara G. Walker |
| ISBN | 0062509349 |
I applaud Walker for the extensive reading she's done in anthropology, archetype psychology and history, but I find her arguments too extreme. Even the most basic reciting of facts are put into a narrative that is extremely negative towards all men through all history. While I do agree that societies...

I took a couple of months to read The Owl Was a Baker's Daughter by Marion Woodman.

The Heroine's Journey: Woman's Quest for Wholeness
| Author | Maureen Murdock |
| ISBN | 0877734852 |
This book is DATED. Which is interesting because it was published 18 years ago. It's kind of wild that a book like this can seem so old because it indicates to me that quite a lot has happened in the last 18 years. This book came out when I was beginning my most radical feminist years and if I'd read it then, I'd...

Cito soltanto:

Susie Sexpert's Lesbian Sex World
| Author | Susie Bright |
| ISBN | 0939416352 |
Aw, this was adorable! Susie Bright is pretty awesome, right?
