Odd Books ; Are Women Human?

From Reuters comes a list of some odd books [1] including:
1. How to Write a How to Write Book
2. If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs
3. Drawing and Painting the Undead
It was the title ‘Are Women Human?’ which caught my eye. Not being entirely certain whether it was another one of those virulently anti-women books possibly trying to be funny or something else, I went and checked it out on Amazon.com.
As it turns out, it’s a feminist study by Catharine A. MacKinnon whose book ‘Women’s Lives, Men’s Laws‘ I read a while ago and think rather highly of. Ms Magazine has said:
“In this collection of essays, the pioneering feminist lawyer calls for international laws to protect women from the denial of property rights, the deployment of rape in war and other brutalities that flow from male oppression.”
I’m not sure why the book has been listed in a collection of odd books unless it’s supposed to be a list of books with odd titles.
