Books that affirm you as a woman?

[chenoa]

Hi. I was just wondering for the other women on this forum, are there any books you read to affirm yourself as a woman? Basically, are there any books that you read if you happen to feel like it's one of those days you might think, just for a bit, that being a woman sucks? And, yes, I even consider PMS-promoted feelings like that, tooo. Lol! Why not? They're part of what makes us slightly crazy! But, anyway, I like Diane Stein's Casting the Circle, Z. Budapest's Holy Book of Women's Mysteries, and Diane Sylvan's The Body Sacred. I also really like, oddly enough, Marion Zimmer Bradley's Avalon books, as well as most things by Rosalind Miles or Judith Tarr. What about the rest of you? Any suggestions?
