Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Another book that blames individual women and feminists collectively for all the problems of modern society, by an author who seems to believe that women who reach 35 unwed will be miserable forever. This is a book that deals with the feminist's believes of yesterday and today and how they prevent women from truely being happy. This deals with the delima women have in to work or to stay at home, how our views on that affect our voting, if sexual freedom causes more problems than it solves, etc. Not a book saying all women should stay at home but search for a happy medium between the 'All men are evil and not needed' and the 'submisive housewife of days gone by'. no reviews | add a review
Talk to women under forty today, and you will hear that in spite of the fact that they have achieved goals previous generations of women could only dream of, they nonetheless feel more confused and insecure than ever. What has gone wrong? What can be done to set it right? These are the questions Danielle Crittenden answers in What Our Mothers Didn't Tell Us. She examines the foremost issues in women's lives -- sex, marriage, motherhood, work, aging, and politics -- and argues that a generation of women has been misled: taught to blame men and pursue independence at all costs. Happiness is obtainable, Crittenden says, but only if women will free their minds from outdated feminist attitudes. By drawing on her own experience and a decade of research and analysis of modern female life, Crittenden passionately and engagingly tackles the myths that keep women from realizing the happiness they deserve. And she introduces a new way of thinking about society's problems that may, at long last, help women achieve the lives they desire. No library descriptions found. |
