Feminism today is about equal rights for women, and equal rights for all. I'm proud to be a feminist. I'm prouder to be one on TV. You can watch our show for Women's History Month in March.

These 9 fabulous books are my ALL-TIME favorites, meaning they mingle with the brilliance of Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, and are currently up in my mental "to read... again and again and again" bookshelf.
