RT,
you asked about books. and you've asked about ones specifically for women, and yes, there are some, both for step-program and non-step approaches.
there is a whole thread up on the forum lists where people mention books they found useful:
http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...rituality.html
personally, 'Recovery by Choice' by Martin Nicholas is one i found extremely useful; it's a thoughtful exploration of our own beliefs, experiences, values, lifechoices, daily habits, in the form of participatory questions designed to "make you look and think" at how it really was and is.
it was written by the founder of LifeRing, a secular peer-support approach to recovery.
it is not specifically for women.
anyway, if you check out the book thread i'm sure you'll find something of use to you.
