I just finished reading Sue Ellen's book...for the second time! Why twice? Because so much is packed into such a slim volume that a once-over simply can't do it- or the reader- justice. "Subverted" is a great gift to many of my age (tail-end Boomers) because it gives an insider's explanation as to how the culture we lived in as teenagers in the turbulent 70s came to be. It was a huge relief to find out that the ubiquitous "Cosmo Girl"- that uncomfortably unattainable standard of glamour and success who stared us in the face every time we were in the Safeway checkout line- was as real as "The Wizard of Oz" that we watched religiously every year. On the other hand, "Subverted" also gave me an understanding of (and more importantly, a sympathy for) the angst my mother must have experienced as a very bright, well-educated career woman whose life shifted dramatically when she had children in the early 1960s. By setting the record straight- and never leaving the reader outside of her story- Sue Ellen's "Subverted" accomplishes what all genuine truth-telling does. It heals.

I couldn't put this book down. Browder, a Catholic convert who used to write for Cosmopolitan magazine, tells how the women's movement and the sexual revolution were falsely joined together through backroom deals and a lot of very cleverly crafted propaganda. Subverted explained to me why the women's movement began with such high hopes in the 1960s and where it all went so wrong.

I have never written a review before, but absolutely had to for this book. Fascinating look at how the abortion movement got linked with the Women's Movement. Also great behind the scenes (behind the liberal curtain) of a cosmo writer and the story of her life & career.

This book will give you a perspective that you may have never considered regarding how to love & help those that have been bombarded and taken-in by the "values" of the 60's generation.

I loved this book! I could hardly put it down. But I would say it is about much more than the wedding of the women's rights and sexual revolution movements, though that part of the book is indeed extremely interesting. It is a conversion story, but even more so it is a beautiful story of a marriage. Though this writer went through many challenges in her life, both material and spiritual, she and her husband were able to weather the storms because they had a very strong marriage. This book is a tribute to the writer's husband, and to their marriage. And so well done! I bought the kindle edition. I don't know if the paper version has photos, but I would so very much love to see some photos. I was captivated by this story on so many levels.

This amazing book is part memoir, part history and more importantly, the story of how families have changed since the 1960s. A former Cosmo writer explains how two men changed the trajectory of the Women's Movement by tying it to the Sexual Revolution and pro-abortion movement in 1967, making Roe vs. Wade possible just six years later. The author's very personal story seized my attention when she was being interviewed on a radio show and her life story is a humanizing part of the book showing how all these issues impacted women, families and humanity over the past half century. A fantastic read and an enlightening book.

An eye opener for any woman who was influenced by the secular lies, greed, and power of secular society, that influenced the reduction of human life to a simple right to abort. In the end, any evil design is driven by human greed for money and power. Thank you Sue Ellen for helping me to see how I can forgive myself for my past error, of believing and living my life as a "liberated" woman. By the power, grace, and kindness of God, I returned to his loving arms, and the Catholic Church, my faith. Your book helps me to better understand what unknowing influences shaped me as a young teenager and then twenty something. I thank my parents for giving a strong foundation in the Church and our faith, because it is what drew me back, saved my life, and left me wondering, how did this happen? God bless you Sue Ellen, you are a brave woman.

A good story about Sue Ellen Browder's journey through the 1960's to the present as a writer, wife, and mother. Her experience of writing for cosmopolitan magazine and her research into how the woman's liberation movement got wrapped around the sexual revolution. She writes about her faith journey. A very honest and well written book.

Format: Hardcover
In “Subverted,” author Sue Ellen Browder provides a personal retrospective of the women’s movement as it became hijacked by the sexual revolution; how she betrayed her true calling and became a propagandist that left “her soul shackled and in darkness”; how, with “God’s grace” she learned about real freedom for a woman; the rise of a new pro-life feminism; and the love of her life, Walter.

Browder is no stranger to writing. She was a mercenary, a literary soldier for hire to create stories for “Cosmopolitan” based on lies to blend the secular notion of women’s rights with the sexual revolution in a way that left in its wake abortion, the objectification of women, the marginalization of men, declining rates of marriage, fatherless children, an immense porn culture, the breakdown of the family and pain for millions of women, men, and children as well as a great divide in our churches and country.

Browder takes us behind the curtain at “Cosmopolitan” to see how the women’s movement was subverted, repackaged and distributed. The impetus for the women’s movement was to address the difficult questions that began to bubble up in the 1960s: How can a woman find her true identity? What is the connection between a woman’s work and her life? What will promote her genuine freedom and happiness? What does a woman’s personhood mean? How can a woman successfully balance children, marriage, and work? It then became intertwined with the sexual revolution and became the foundation for a popular belief shared by many women today who sincerely believe that it is to be “liberated” by going to college, pursuing a career, and be as sexually active as possible with no strings attached.
