I'm always looking for new books to read about feminism & women's issues. I would recommend checking out Elizabeth Wurtzel's "Bitch". It's a highly readable, angry, and smart book about the sexual objectification of women (and tons of other topics). Thank you for the book suggestion!

I think Gilman does a really interesting job explaining her confusion about doing the whole wedding thing and being a feminist, something that speaks to me a lot. I hope you get a chance to read it!

I am super curious about the pouffy white dress book! I got married a couple years ago and it was such an interesting experience. Both my hubby and I are feminists and are uncomfortable (to a degree) with the very institution we joined. Gotta check it out! Awesome!

I like books that don't pretend not to have an agenda because you get to active engage with them, and that seems like a book that would do that pretty well.

And if you'd like another book that's a bit controversial (it sure has it's own agenda!), try out What Our Mothers Didn't Tell Us, by Danielle Crittendon. Here's a <a>link to my book club's recap</a> of our meeting on that book ... it was our most controversial ever. EXCELLENT post – I completely agree with you!
