Which book do you consider most pivotal, most influential or that had the most impact on you?

Mary Wollstonecraft's "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman."

Wollstonecraft and Greer, for sure. Probably Greer if I had to pick just one for the vaults.

Two books that mean a lot to me personally were Backlash by Susan Faludi and Fat is a Feminist Issue by Susie Orbach.

I've thought of another: What Mothers Do (especially when it looks like nothing) by Naomi Stadlen.

Another vote for The Female Eunuch. I first read it back in the early 70s, and still have my original copy.
Its impact has stayed with me all these years, especially the phrase about women not understanding how much men hate us.
Sadly, I don't think much has changed since 1973, unless it's to get worse.
The War Against Women by Marilyn French, written 20 years later is also worth a read.
