Who's Afraid of Feminism?: Seeing Through the Backlash

Has the situation of women improved significantly since the outpouring of activism in the 1960s and '70s? Has what's come to be known as the "backlash" erased women's gains and turned back the clock? Ann Oakley and Juliet Mitchell have assembled a distinguished, international group of feminist thinkers to tackle the issues confronting the contemporary women's movement. They challenge the myth that women are enjoying equal privilege to men in the workplace and in the home, and examine the resurgence of determinist thinking.
