Powers of the Weak

Front Cover
Morrow Quill Paperbacks, 1981 - Social Science - 350 pages
"This provocative and intellectually ingenius book explodes the mystique of power to show the true relationship between the ruled and those who rule them. With the originality and marvelous sanity that have distinguished all her writings on human and social issues and made her one of the most admired voices of the Women's movement, Elizabeth Janeway here ventures boldly into new territory. By analyzing the power not in terms of the strong but of the weak -- especially women -- she uncovers the tools available to the seemingly powerless. Powers of the Weak is for all those who want not only to command their own lives but to help influence, even invent, our collective future." -- Publisher's description.
