"The Beauty Myth" by Naomi Wolf
It is an excellent book about women and how they are affected by media portrayal, and how images of women are used in media to perpetuate said beauty myth.
I also just read "Kissing the Witch" by Emma Donaghue
That is a book of fairytales retold, most with a feminist twist.

Hi Orbiting~
Things have been going really well here. I was wondering how you've been; I haven't seen you here or on yahoo messenger in a while. I'm glad to see you!
many, many years ago lived an emperor, who thought so much.
of new clothes that he spent all his money in order to obtain.
emperor's clothes were more admired.. .

Also:

Do you think if she did happen to have been a lesbian, that that somehow discredits all the good she did?

Gloria Steinem---the work she did to push forward women's rights and feminism is incredible.
maybe i'm in need of some enlightenment here.
through the means of educational tv (such as the simpsons), i have always thought that a sufferer from tourettes syndrome cussed and swore for most of his waking life.. however, just a few moments ago, i encountered this in thursdays the times:.
manchester united expect to complete the acquisition of tim howard, the american goalkeeper who suffers from tourettes syndrome, within a fortnight.
My nephew has Tourettes. He doesn't swear, or have any verbal tics, aside from a few sounds. His tics are mostly jerking, and touching others. He is only 12, but next year he is going to be in middle school. I'm afraid the touching tic is going to get him in serious trouble. He takes medication for it, but it doesn't completely take the tics away, only controls them a little more.

i promise that i am not turning into the next minimus with all the damn questions but this is something i have been thinking quite a bit about lately.. as i grew up in the troof... i almost despised it.
what it "stood for".
and the fact that people would "worship" it.
This is my flag!
