Women UnBound Challenge

The Women Unbound Reading Challenge encourages participants to read nonfiction and fiction books related to women’s studies.

There are three levels you can choose as a reader:

* Philogynist: read at least two books, including at least one nonfiction one.
* Bluestocking: read at least five books, including at least two nonfiction ones.
* Suffragette: read at least eight books, including at least three nonfiction ones.

I'm going for Suffragette, in part because it is such an important topic and in part because this will seriously help me get through some TBR books.  I'm not completely stuck on reading these books; although it would be a good idea as for the most part I own them.

CHALLENGE COMPLETED: I love the topic of this challenge, and even though I've completed my requisite eight books, I can't see myself reading for the rest of the year without purposefully reading books that fall under the Women's Study heading.
