Front Cover
WND Books, 2011 - Political Science - 228 pages
"Forty years have passed since the so-called women's movement claimed to liberate women from preconceived notions of what it means to be female -- and the results are in. The latest statistics show that as women have gained more freedom, more education, and more power, they have become less happy. Enough, say Suzanne Venker, an emerging young author, and veteran warrior Phyllis Schlafly. It's time to liberate America from feminism's dead-end road. Everything Americans know -- or think they know -- about marriage, kids, sex, education, politics, and work/family balance has been filtered through a left-wing lens. In The Flipside of Feminism, readers are introduced to a new view of women -- one that runs counter to what Americans have been beseiged with for decades. Venker and Schlafly argue that conservative women, not feminists, are those to whom young people should turn to for advice. Their confident and rational approach to the battle of the sexes is precisely what America needs"--
