Palmer William J

St Martins Pr. 02/01/1997. 241 pgs. Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens make another appearance as sleuths, in this mystery about the murder of an early feminist in Victorian England.

3) The World According to Garp
Irving, John

Ballantine Books. 08/01/1994. Reissue. Something of a modern classic, this is the story of T. S. Garp, who is raised by his eccentric feminist mother and spends most of his life surrounded and preoccupied by woman. Irving depicts Garp's pursuit of a writing career against the backdrop of the odd assortment of characters in his life--wrestlers, radical feminists, transsexuals, and rape protesters. Part fictional biography, part examination of the writing life, and part meditation on modern American society gone amok. Originally published at $7.99 You save 81% off the cover price!

5) Turning on the Girls
Cheryl Benard

Farrar Straus & Giroux. 02/01/2001. 312 pgs. Sometime in the near future, Lisa is working at a ministry in the new world run by women. Her assignment is to update women's sexual fantasies, digging her way out of the mire of romances and pornography that women used to read in the old world and concocting something that is more in tune with the revolution. But an underground men's movement threatens trouble, and when Lisa enters it as a spy, she finds herself faced with a band of rebellious men who refuse to go along with the new order--men who threaten her in new and unsettling ways. This satirical post-feminist novel examines sex roles and gender in a new and refreshing way. Originally published at $23.00 You save 96% off the cover price!

Marge Piercy

Harpercollins. 12/01/2005. 408 pgs.
