Excellent overview of the women's movement

I've probably read 60 books on the women's movement. Most of it is garbage that makes you want to gnash your teeth at the enormous errors being made. This book however puts the movement on a solid footing and is brilliant throughout. I took one star off because every other chapter appears to have been written by Judith Hughes. She is more of an activist than a scholar or a thinker, and seems to want to change things rather than understand them. Midgley is the mighty Minnie Mouse that the women's movement has sought. Finally, someone who can think clearly. I have no idea why this book has been so overlooked. It's one of the greatest books of philosophy ever written, and it's clean and tight and not very long. Read it, or forever remain a stupid dupe of the Maoist juggernaut initiated by SdB.
