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 I wish I could say this 20 year old book was out of date; unfortunately, the problems discussed here have continued, and in fact gotten worse since the book was written.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.

She writes about sex, children's books, the media, breast implants, the mind of an antiabortionist. She invokes Moby Dick and Gilligan's Island, Lorena Bobbitt and Lysistrata ("the original woman's strike-for-peace-nik"). For more than a decade, in her wonderfully provocative, wittily astute, graceful and gutsy pieces in The Nation, The New Yorker and The New York Times, she has taken the strongest positions on the thorniest moral issues and the most controversial events, from date rape to surrogate motherhood, to violence against women, to the Anita Hill hearings, to fetal rights and mothers' "wrongs." The best of her pieces are gathered here. No library descriptions found. |
