Where To Find Women's Books
You can find the books reviewed here at one of the many
women's bookstores listed in the Feminist Bookstore
Index. The links indicated here point to text-only versions of
the index for the convenience of women with slow modem
connections but a prettier Netscape-enhanced version is just a
hotlink away.

This online
publication is a cooperative effort by many women and will be
changing as time goes on. The overall purpose of the site is to
encourage women to read women's books and to buy
women's books at women's bookstores if they
possibly can. The site is loosely (some might say chaotically)
connected with the Feminist Bookstore
Index, an online resource indexing women's
bookstores all around the world, and we encourage you, if any
of these books sounds like they would interest you, to find the
women's bookstore nearest you (if you haven't
got a favorite one already) and support women's words
by buying women's books at women's stores.
Fine Print
The opinions expressed herein represent
the thoughts of each individual reviewer as they react to the
book in review and are not indicative of the thoughts of any
other woman or of the collective thinking of Women's
Books Online, which actually has no collective existence other
than as a site on the world-wide web. Any errors or omissions are
either entirely my own (Lee Anne), or Lynn's, or the
separate errors and omissions of the individual reviewers but we
disclaim any responsibility other than correcting such errors as
they are brought to our attention. Someone will respond promptly
to any author or publisher who contacts the site (probably me or
Lynn) with corrections or notification of any mistaken statements
of fact such as a misspelling of the author's name or of
the title of the book (hey, these things happen) or perhaps you
could submit another review (as described below) if you can find
someone other than the author (who might be rather more partial
to her own book than the average reader) to write the review.
Omission or inclusion of a book in this review is neither a
condemnation nor an unqualified endorsement of any particular
book but merely represents the fact that time and space are
finite and we can't review everything but only what
strikes our uncollective fancy of the moment. If you know of a
book you'd like to see reviewed, please feel free to
inquire about it to one of us or to anyone else on the page, or
write your own review and, if it meets our flexible and
ever-changing standards and time schedules, it will appear in a
future edition.
Neither this file nor any of the individual reviews contained
herein may be copied or reduced to any permanent medium, whether
electronic, magnetic, paper, or any other storage medium, other
than temporary and incidental transfers of data for the purposes
of viewing in a web browser or other viewing client, nor may they
be used for any commercial purpose, without the express written
permission of the individual authors.
Thank you for your continuing support of women's books
and bookstores,
