Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.Sample Book Insights:#1 Gloria Steinem, American feminist superstar, has always offered her critics a good run for their money. She has been married twice, and has children from both marriages.#2 Black American women had never been subject to the domestic ideal denounced by Friedan, because they had never been slaves. They were proud of their status as workers, and this pride was part of a long tradition of political and community engagement.#3 The idea that women are sovereign individuals, not just appendages, is still not accepted by many politicians and society in general.#4 In France, the feminist organizations Osez le féminisme! and the Chiennes de garde called for the elimination of the Miss option on administrative forms, as it represented the nth nutty fad from feminists with too much time on their hands.
