| 1. |  | The Middle Place (Voice)
from Voice
Price: $16.29
Customer Review:
Although very readable and in some parts "cute", I found this memoir slightly irritating in the perfect family, and the fact that I don't see why Kelly's story is noteworthy enough to warrant a memoir. I'm sure thousands of people have been placed in similar situations, including myself. I found the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 3. | ![]() | The Awakening
from Recorded Books
Customer Review:
The Awakening is a novella about a young married woman in New Orleans during the late 1800s who suddenly develops a taste for freedom - to make her own decisions and live with the consequences. An exciting concept only because of the setting. The storyline is really very mild for today's readers.more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Price: $14.40
Customer Review:
This is not just an essay on feminism, this is a window to Virginia Woolf's thought pattern and logic. A Room of One's Own is beautifully written, it almost reads like a novel yet is packed with insightful thoughts on the idea of being an independent woman. The roles of women have changed since... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 7. |  | Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity (Routledge Classics)
from Routledge
Price: $14.93
Customer Review:
Of course Butler's books on gender are breathtaking classics and receive 5 stars from me in their print editions. I assign them all the time in my Gender Studies class. But this Kindle edition is messy. This is the problem I keep finding with the Kindle editions. It's insulting of Amazon to assume... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Northanger Abbey
from Kessinger Publishing
Price: $18.59
Customer Review:
I watched the recent BBC version of the Northanger Abbey story first and loved it. I'm a Jane Austen fan who hasn't read all the novels but I'm working on it. So I got the novel to see how it compared. It was great! I love her humor - tongue in cheek and so witty. But the thing I really want to... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 9. |  | Bloom's Reviews: Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin
from Chelsea House Publications
Customer Review:
Even though the characters in Uncle Tom's Cabin are "fictional", the story is realistic about American slavery during the life of Harriet Beecher Stowe. Uncle Tom's Cabin met a great deal of resistance in the south, because it exposed the skeleton in America's closet. Abraham Lincoln said to the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Modern Library
Customer Review:
You enter a different world when you read this book (also Didion's White Album). It's not the California you see on television or People magazine; it's the gritty day to day California life, of the 1960's. | 4.5 / 5.0
