Thanks for posting. The Handmaid's Tale is of course terrific. I already had The Flame Throwers on my wish list. Excellent Woman caught my eye (sadly there seems to be no Kindle edition available).

I was very surprised that Marion Zimmer Bradley's Mists of Avalon was not on the list. Kind of a glaring omission in fact. It is a retelling of the King Arthur legend from a female persepective. Very feminist. I can attest as a male that it is a terrific book. The thought processes - including fear and dread - that one of the characters felt at the thought of going through childbirth (with no pain relievers and little better than a coin's flip chance of survival in those days) made a lasting impression on me.

I had to chuckle where it said "everyone loves Tina Fey" - my wife hates her.
