Bloomer Books

I feel a moral responsibility to support the Amelia Bloomer Project even though I find the descriptions of the books on this year's list a little on the dry and preachy side. I'm not feeling an overwhelming compulsion to run out and read these books based on those write-ups.

On the other hand, none of the titles appear to be about dating or shopping for designer crap, which could make them compelling reading for that reason alone.

In the interests of full disclosure, I will mention that I know both Pegi Deitz Shea and Mitali Perkins, who have books on the list.
