So even seemingly thinking person could get it wrong. Germaine Greer was wrong about Princess Diana, and she is wrong about transgender women. She has become irrelevant and by attacking normal person, she made it to the newspaper. Big.Fucking. Deal. I would not read any of her books any mor...
This is a fantastic book. I, myself, am pro-choice already, but reading this book has made me more understanding about many of the issues surrounding the issue of abortion. I think it has helped me see the perspective of those who argue for pro-life and the importance of an open dialogue. The id...

Very interesting and quite concise overview of US feminism and the differences of opinion not just between second and third wavers but also the different approaches inside the movements.
Sisterhood is powerful, the second-wave feminists of the 1960s and 70s declared. I have, and am, a sister, and I believe this; my sister and I are very good friends. But we haven't always had the easiest relationship - it's pretty unusual to have sisterhood without sibling rivalry. In Sisterhoo...
