READING LIST 2010-2011
The United Society of Friends Women International (USFWI) recommend a list of books in various categories which may challenge you, broaden your outlook on life, inspire you to go deeper spiritually. However, they no longer make requirements for adult readers. Instead you are encouraged to check with your Yearly Meeting Literature Secretary to know what you need to read to receive a certificate at the end of the year. It is exciting that there are women among us who have met those requirements for 50 or more years! Here is the Reading List suggestions from USFWI for 2010-2011.
