So much of this is just plain wrong! I'm all about revising history, but for the purposes of accuracy, not political charged agendas. Even if they are admittedly agenda I support. The assertions are simply not supported by the evidence. ( )

I just finished reading this - whoa - a trip back in time to the '80s. Influential crackpottery.

Interesting look at the past and the surges and resurgence of feminism or a balance which she refers to as gylany. She points out that over the centuries there have been a lot of attempts, once gylany or feminism rears it's head to supress it, which is usually followed by a period of resurgance of more masculine values and often wars. Sometimes I think she oversimplifies it but there are occasions where it actually makes sense. The most annoying thing about this book is that it keeps referring to it's sequel, and how she's going to treat such and such topic in greater detail in the sequel, this could be better served as footnotes rather than part of the text.
