Looking for suggestions to add to my reading list. Any help greatly appreciated.
I'd comb through some PhD exam reading lists for ideas:
Loyola University Chicago - MA/PhD modern Euro history (PDF)
[Rutgers - Women's/Gender History] (http://history.rutgers.edu/dmdocuments/Women%20and%20Gender%20Comprehensive%20Reading%20List.pdf) (PDF)
[Boston College - History exam list index] (http://www.bc.edu/schools/cas/history/grad/resources/reading_lists.html)
