Still the best book on women in patriarchy,
This review is from: Women and Love: A Cultural Revolution in Progress (Hardcover)
I read this book when it first came out, years ago. It changed my life. It validated what I thought I was seeing: the sometimes covert emotional abuse and contempt that men heap upon women, even when they think they love women.
It's a long, thick book full of stories written by women about their lives with men. You are not alone. For some reason, maybe because the information in books like this is still so shocking, the feminist revolution has sort of stalled. Women have made a lot of progress in the working world: we can go into any profession and be very successful in almost any field, provided that we don't let marriage and children hold us back. Note that the two recent female appointees to the Supreme Court are unmarried, childless women, while the majority of the men on the court are not. This is not an accident. Private family life is still the last frontier in feminism.
