It is the most incredible novel I've ever read, rich in both plot and character. I wanted to suggest the novel The Lost Daughter by Daralyse Lyons.

I have to admit, I'm a little hesitant to re-read <i>Hypocrite...</i> because I'm worried it won't be as great this time around. I have such fond memories of the way the book changed the way I think that I hope I won't lose. Fingers crossed! Andi: Sounds like a great book!

An early-for-me feminist book I read in my 20s and loved then was Rosalind Miles's Who Cooked the Last Supper? A Women's History of the World. I loved it then, and I'm very curious if it would stand up to a re-reading. Enjoy your choices! Great choices!

I read a lot of books written by women and about women that seemed to speak to some interesting aspects of feminism. I just finished <i>The Blind Assassin</i>, and there's lots of stuff in there about feminine power and what it means to tell one's story that would be fascinating for this challenge.
