I arrived last Saturday morning to the WAM! Conference, like so many of my peers, jet-lagged, bitter about the conference being in Boston and not in Hawaii, and desperate for coffee. Fortunately, I got a rush when I spotted the impromptu feminist book store.
Sidenote: I work for a non-profit, I do NOT have the cash to be spending $100 on books.
But I did it anyway. Hooray! Here is a list of some of the awesome reads available (the ones that I can remember) starting with the three books I bought.
- Sisterhood, Interrupted: From Radical Women to Grrls Gone Wild by Deborah Siegel
- Abortion Under Attack: Women on the Challenges Facing Choice by Rebecca Walker, Gloria Feldt, and Krista Jacob
- Front Row at the White House: My Life and Times by Helen Thomas
- Watchdogs of Democracy? The Waning Washington Press Corps and How it Has Failed the Public by Helen Thomas
- Juicy Mangos: Erotic Collections by Michelle Herrera Mulligan
- City of Widows: An Iraqi Woman’s Account of War and Resistance by Haifa Zangana
- Women on a Journey: Between Baghdad and London by Haifa Zangana
- Latina Politics, Latino Politics: Gender, Culture, and Political Participation in Boston by Carol Hardy-Fanta
- Attack of the 50-Foot Mikhaela! Cartoons by Mikhaela B. Reid
- It’s a Jungle Out There! The Feminist Survival Guide to Politically Inhospitable Environments by Amanda Marcotte
- Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters: The Frightening New Normalcy of Hating Your Body by Courtney Martin
Ugh. Unfortunately that’s all I can remember, but they’re some awesome reads so check ‘em out!
