Nadia, I have a copy of 'Changing My Mind' waiting in Mount TBR. I'm a big fan of her fiction but this will be the first of her non-fiction for me. Jen, I'm about 3/4 way through and so far it's hilarious. It manages to make serious points about feminism but is still able to laugh at itself; perfect.

I never really know what to do to celebrate - growing up, today was always treated like Mother's Day in my house, as it had been when my mother was growing up behind the Iron Curtain. Perhaps, in honour of International Women's Day, today might be the perfect day for me to start reading <i>Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit</i>! Happy International Women’s Day to you too!
