So I am going to start keeping track of the books I read in a much more orderly fashionable way.

I keep lists of all the books on my good ole macintosh. I’ll start keeping monthly lists, but to speed it up, I’ve divided the books I read into a few categories.

(1) Fiction
(2) Mormon specific
(3) Women’s History specific
(4) Nonfiction misc.
(5) Historical case studies/ historiography

Of course, there will be some overlap in categories.

Rating guide will be four stars and suggestions for who would like it.

In this post I’ll list the books about women’s history:

Abortion and the Politics of Motherhood (**)
Decoding Abortion Rhetoric (***, for scholars and people interested in media and consumerism)
A Desired Past: A Short History of Same-Sex Love in America (****)
Hope in a Jar: The Making of America’s Beauty Culture (***)
When Abortion Was a Crime: Women, Medicine, and Law in the United States, 1867-1973 (***, for history buffs who are into medical history)
A Woman’s Wage: Historical Meanings and Social Consequences (****, a staple for women’s history and economics)

More posts to come!
