Not just feminism, but when I was in middle school, my very conservative Christian mom bought me Marion Zimmer Bradley's "The Mists of Avalon" because y'know, Arthurian legend!

She definitely had NO IDEA what she had just put in my hands. Feminism was probably the only content in there she DID approve of.

Oh LOL! I loved "The Mists of Avalon" (probably for the very reasons your mother wouldn't have approved if she hadn't known)! I should probably reread.

The really hilarious thing was that since I enjoyed that so much, she bought me one of the Darkover novels next. It happened to be "The Forbidden Tower", which was pretty much a wonderful primer as to why polyamory is totally not the same thing as cheating and can be completely perfect for some people.

I'm so glad I read that stuff early, before I had internet access and discovered online fandom.

I didn't read that, but it sounds interesting!

I loved how little parents seemed to realise what things were included in the books their children read (though looking back, I don't think my mother would have minded that much, seeing that she handed me Jean M. Auel's "Earth's Children" books, which are fairly porny, after having read them herself). ;)
