Women vs Feminism: Why We All Need Liberating from the Gender Wars - Softcover

"Women vs Feminism is a superb expose of today's victim feminism. It tells the story of how a once valiant movement for equality and freedom devolved into a male-bashing grievance-fest. This meticulously researched book will drive the gender activists crazy--and delight those who care about truth, rules of evidence, and genuine liberation." - Christina Hoff Sommers, Author of Who Stole Feminism? "For those of us who've been involved in fighting for women's liberation for years, it has been tragic to watch contemporary feminism become the enemy of freedom. Do not despair. Joanna Williams's wonderful book not only uses erudition, philosophy and polemics to explain how on earth this betrayal has happened but more importantly it is a bravura clarion call urging women to throw off the shackles of hapless victimhood and instead take control of their destiny. I loved every word." - Claire Fox, Director, Institute of Ideas "A thoughtful critique of modern feminism." - The Quarterly Review "The joy of reading Joanna Williams's writing is that you quickly realize that she represents a rare combination. She knows her feminist theory inside out, and yet she also sees immediately where contemporary feminism becomes misguided and pernicious." - The Conservative Woman "refreshing and engaging" - Times Literary Supplement
