Naomi Wolf

Naomi Wolf, the author of The Beauty Myth, chooses six recent reads that have had a strong impact on her. Her next book, The End of America, will be published later this year.

Marie Antoinette by Antonia Fraser (Anchor, $17). I had to rush out and buy this book after I saw the movie with Kirsten Dunst. Fraser has a gift for making history narratively juicy. A gossipfest from another era, with plenty of lessons about hubris and repression that are timely today.
