5.0 out of 5 stars Significant insight humor. A scholarly work as well., October 20, 1997

This review is from: The Official Sexually Correct Dictionary and Dating Guide (Paperback)

This work is a serious analysis of the feminist movement and includes references to over 180 scholarly works. This is the best book I have read on critical insight humor. Unless one is familiar with this book (see also Patai & Koertge's Professing Feminism and C. Sommers Who Stole Feminism?) one cannot understand feminism. They are quantum leaps above other books on the subject. The authors are also refreshingly honest, critical and courageous in criticizing Women's Studies teaching in the University.
