great thread!
i would also suggest "listen up: voices from the next generation of feminism" - it's an easy read - essays by women, but the narrative structure is a great entry point into third wave feminism and feminist history.

Heh. My advisor claims that when she was in grad school in the early 80s, there was no need for methodology or theory classes, because all you had to do was read E.P. Thompson and you were good to go. I have a copy, and I read chunks of it as an undergrad, but I don't think I've ever read the whole thing straight through.
I consider myself a total feminist, but I have read very little feminist theory. Like, shockingly little. I've read lots of feminist history and feminist policy analysis and feminist stuff, but very little theory.

Yeah, I felt like I had to read Thompson, Gramsci and Gutman back then (the department was obviously very labor history centered).
On your other point I can not bring myself to read Donna Harraway. The few things I've read by her make my ears bleed.
