Book club help please - feminist /female perspective books

[funnypeculiar]

Hi all
I (foolishly) suggested at our last book club that we should do a 'feminist' book next (we've been doing too many boys' books, imho!) .... and now I have to suggest one .... It needs to be fairly readable/not too long!!

My starters for 10 were
The Female Eunach (but think lots of people have read it)
Angela Carter - possibly Nights at the Circus
The Women's Room (but very long, and dull in the second half)
Handmaid's Tale - but we've done quite a lot of sci-fi recently

Any other ideas??

what did you choose?

Paradise by Toni Morrison if you can stomach it
Presents the female paradigm in polarasation to the male one, brutally but powerfully.

princess, daughters of arabia, desert royal - are a series by Jean Sasson - insider's glimpse at the life of Saudi princess and women's treatment in Arabia

Mayada: daughter of Iraq by Jean Sasson.

very intersting reads about life in the middle east from a woman's perspective

wild swans

this one

manitz those ones by sasson are an 'easy' read.

this one will inspire discussion for sure
