I'd like to get my sister (29) a fiction book for Christmas to go with other gifts. She's a professional woman, no kids (just lots of nephs!) and is currently reading the Stephanie Plum novels. Sadly I have no idea about books. Any suggestions please for some subtle feminist fiction books?! If not, how's the new Amy Poehler Yes Please book? Thanks!

I enjoy reading 'subtle feminism' and would recommend:
Bodies of Light - Sarah Moss
The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
The Children's Book - AS Byatt
The Poisonwood Bible - Barabara Kingsolver
The Hours - Michael Cunningham
The Help - Kathryn Stockett

Does it have to be fiction? I also love reading biographies / autobiographies about inspiring women, such as:
Why be happy when you could be normal? - Jeanette Winterson
Wild - Cheryl Strayed
Romantic Outlaws: the extraordinary lives of Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley - Charlotte Gordon
Clothes, clothes, clothes. Music, music, music. Boys, boys, boys - Viv Albertine

hello
I know how it goes about that,my mom is into the same readings
Annie’s Plaid Shirt, written by Stacy Davids, and beautifully illustrated by Rachael Balsaotos, is far more than the assertion of a young girl striving for individualism and self-expression.take a look at [[http://blankrefer.com/?www.amazon.com/product-reviews/0692512454/?tag=worldtrademar-20

Sarah Waters' 'Fingersmith' is a book everybody should read. Fantastic story with a twist that floors everyone who reads it.
