HOW MUCH HAS LIFE
really changed for women over the last decade? Has
the women's movement affected women all over the
world? Has it changed women's relationships with
men?
Nikki van der Gaag
answers these questions with hard, sometimes
disturbing, evidence. Many women have made huge
leaps forward--in legal rights, political
representation, employment, education, and health.
The rhetoric of "gender equality" slips easily off
the tongues of politicians. But beneath the surface
the statistics are shocking. And men have changed
very little. Vivid testimonies from around the
world explain why, especially in this post-feminist
age, women's rights are still very much an
issue--for men and women alike.
Refreshing and
enjoyable. The book corrects many of the
misconceptions and biases related to the feminist
movement and to the dispossessed majority living on
the earth.
