I would like to suggest "throwing like a girl" by Iris Young. It's a collection of essays about whether/how physical experience is gendered. Google it to learn more.
In the same vein as Ellen, I was wanting to sugest "undoing gender" by judith butler, though it's quite possible it's too hard to find/expensive. http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/biblio?inkey=1-9780415969239-5
when it comes out in paperback, I'd be interested in reading Susan Wicklund's "This Common Secret" about her life as an abortion doctor.

My Votes:
Throwing Like a Girl
Are Women Human
throwing like a girl sounds good to me
Did we vote? What won?
If we haven't counted yet I vote for Persepolis or Throwing like a girl.
=)
Let me know what book was picked (its looking like "throwing like a girl" might be the winner?)so that i can get a start on it. Hope the movie was good!
