There! That’s all the reviews of all the books on my booklist for last semester’s Ecofeminism comps class. I figured posting the original versions, before they were edited down to fit into the comps essay, would be the most thought-provoking and potentially helpful to both my sister scholars and other curious readers.<\/p>\n

Now I’ll be posting the books I’ll be reading for the upcoming Fall 2013 “Women & World Religions” comps — enjoy! I’m starting during the summer, of course, since I want to get ahead on the reading, as well as have more time to ponder the fascinating concepts I’m supposed to be reviewing. Plus, let’s face it: I do like mentally rambling, checking to see what concepts are similar to other works I’ve read and enjoyed. ;)<\/p>\n

So, without further ado, here are the three subsections of my “Women & World Religions” comps class, and the list of books I am or will be reading. I’ll try to link in at least the first post of all reviews I write. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
