This has been a very strange semester so far, and I’m less than a week in. Amongst other things, my Women & World Religions comps essay prof did another<\/em> review of my bibliography, and suggested some changes. I found this odd for two reasons: 1) I thought we’d agreed on the official booklist at the beginning of summer, which is why I started reading then, and 2) she suggested I dump one of the books she herself suggested!<\/p>\n

I don’t quite get it, but except for one suggestion she made I do think the list will be fine — perhaps even improved, I hope! — with these new titles. So, after these yet more unexpected revisions, this is hopefully finally<\/em> the ultimate, complete, set-in-stone version of the bibliography I’ll be reviewing for my Women & World Religions comps essay. As previously, I’ll try to link in at least the first post of all reviews I write. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
