Perkins cites several influential books on feminism and sexuality that the Yale women may have read, such as Our Bodies, Ourselves, Kate Millett’s Sexual Politics, Toni Cade Bambara’s The Black Woman, and others. Have you read any of those mentioned, and if so, what did you think of them? Were there any other books on feminism or women’s history that inspired you as a young adult? Are there any books you recommend that have a theme similar to that in Yale Needs Women?
