I remember Thurow from some of My college work . Noted conflict theorist, a sociology theory which leaned heavily on marxist/communist thought. My addition to the list would be "The color purple" by Alice Walker, the gist of which is "men suck, become a lesbian". If you saw the movie version, they toned down the lesbianism/feminist rhetoric that was in the book. Forced to read it in a 100 level lit. course.
