Bonnie et al,

The first book I'd like to suggest is by Catherine MacKinnon, "Are Women
Human?'  I've talked about this book on the list before, as I bought it
after hearing MacKinnon, but I would like to read it WITH other people.
has anyone here had experience with leading a book discussion?  She is a
lawyer with an international clientele, very lucid speaker, very
thoughtful, very respectful of audience questions.

What do others think?
