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'.
