The Rise of Enlightened Sexism
How Pop Culture Took Us from Girl Power to Girls Gone Wild
Susan J. Douglas
St. Martin's Griffin
“A must-read: Whip-smart, witty, and scathingly insightful. Susan Douglas has penned a brilliant—and often funny—critique of the myths about equality, ambition, and femininity that are currently being served up as ‘reality’ in our media-crazed culture. She challenges those who insist that feminism is outmoded, that strong women are scary and unlovable, and that ‘real’ girl power comes from Botox, a bustier, and the ability to pole-dance in a pair of size-two hot pants. Best yet,
Enlightened Sexism
offers an antidote to the contradictory messages and predicaments many women experience today. It’s a call to action and an inspiration.”—

"Mr. Greenberg brings his gymnastic verbal skills to bear on the subject of the all-American pastime . . . An enchanting and enchanted take on baseball . . . [It is] the story of Darren Lemming, a god among baseball players and the star of a team called the Empires, who sets off a complicated chain of ultimately tragic events when he publicly announces that he is gay. This allows Mr. Greenberg to consider . . . big, big subjects like sexual and racial prejudice, moral responsibility, public versus personal identities and the inability of people to ever truly know one another."—

The Terror Dream
Myth and Misogyny in an Insecure America
Susan Faludi
Picador
"Throughout the book, Faludi provides stunning and depressing evidence of a concerted effort to silence women and roll back women's rights in the wake of 9/11 and to transform the attack on a U.S. financial symbol where men and women worked side by side into an assault on family and hearth. She shows over and over again how some conservatives and right-wing media and bloggers have blamed the attack on a society feminized and emasculated by the women's movement."—

This Changes Everything
The Relational Revolution in Psychology
Christina Robb
Picador
"Robb . . . opens by describing how Harvard psychologist Carol Gilligan came to write her groundbreaking
In a Different Voice,
which argued that for women the idea of the self is intimately bound up in a network of close relationships. Robb goes on to describe how other women psychologists and psychiatrists . . . arrived at similar findings. Disseminating their ideas via consciousness-raising groups in the Boston area, these women regarded gender differences as 'systemic rather than essential' . . . they dramatically revised notions of childhood development, incest, posttraumatic stress and sexual pleasure. Drawing on interviews, Robb mingles her subjects' personal and professional histories with case histories that illustrate their theories, and with the commentaries of other experts in related fields . . ."

To Tell the Truth Freely
The Life of Ida B. Wells
Mia Bay
Hill and Wang
"Superb . . . Having been squeezed out of a role in national civil and women's rights organizations, Wells lost a prominent place in the historical record. It took several generations before her relentless and often discomforting agitation for social justice received the appreciation it deserved, as scholars over the last twenty years gradually reestablished her place in history. Mia Bay's lucid biography contributes enormously to this project."—
