Reasonable Creatures: Essays on Women and Feminism

This is that rare book - a book that doesn't miss on any level. Great prose style, good solid data, and just the right amount of snark. I wish I could say this 20 year old book was out of date; unfortunately, the problems discussed here have continued, and in fact gotten worse since the book was written. While we have moved on from some of the specific cases she talks about, others have sprung up to take their place. The politicians have changed, we're seemingly a long way from the Reagan administration, Dan Quayle, and Murphy Brown, but the current election cycle simply reinforces the need for books like this.
