Thanks for all the great replies! We have a few more recommendations added to the list, and I have included them down below (the first 6 are the new ones as of July 6th).

Vote results as of July 6th:
3 people have voted for Jenny Horsman's Too Scared to Learn book, or some other writing that she has posted on her website ( http://www.jennyhorsman.com/ )
One vote for: A Child Called It or The Secret Life of Bees
One vote for: Work by Carol Gilligan or the Change Agent or Sheryl Gowen's Friends from the Kitchen
One vote for: Echo in my soul or Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl or Black women in white America.

Anyone else interested in voicing a vote for what we should read and discuss over this listserv? By the way, if you do not want to post your vote to the whole group, it is fine to send me an email to my personal address: dgreenberg at gsu.edu As you can see from above, I don't name names when I announce the votes.
