Something’s brewing deep inside of me. About 2 months ago, this “something” hit me. I’m not sure what to call it yet, but it has to do with being more aware of my femininity and finding feminine attributes in things not commonly seen as being feminine. Does this make sense? When I find something that interests me, I tend to do a lot of research on the topic. Since I’m not quite sure what to call this new feeling/interest, I don’t know what to research, so I went to our public library and typed in ‘Feminism’. I checked out quite a few books that fall under that category. I am currently reading “The Dance of the Dissident Daughter” by Sue Monk Kidd. This book is exactly what I need. I’m about half way through it, and it has really just blown my mind. Kidd refers to this feeling as finding ‘feminine spirituality’ or finding the ‘feminine divine’. I really like both of these and don’t know why I am struggling with choosing a name for it.
List of books on this particular subject:
The Dance of the Dissident Daughter - currently reading
The Red Tent - currently reading
Cunt
SARK - all of her books appeal to me
Flow - currently reading
Do you have any other suggestions? Let me know.

I suggest I Am An Emotional Creature by Eve Ensler or the Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler. I'm going thru an Eve Ensler phase...
