Summary
  1. Women of the Revolution charts the progress of the feminist movement from 1970 to the present day, featuring witty, angry and colourful articles either penned by, or profiling, the most explosive feminist thinkers of our time: Germaine Greer, Kate Millett, Fay Weldon, Erin Pizzey, Gloria Steinem, Alice Walker, bell hooks, Betty Friedan, Doris Lessing, Naomi Wolf, Katie Roiphe, Julie Burchill, Julie Bindel, Nawal El Saadawi, Barbara Ehrenreich and Susan Faludi, among many others. Highlights include Jonathan Freedland visiting a town in Massachusetts known as 'Lesbianville'; Ros Coward writing emotively on the death of Princess Diana; Germaine Greer penning a controversial piece about her own experience of rape; Katharine Viner interviewing Toni Morrison about feminism, race and her late-night phone calls with Marlon Brando; and Andrea Dworkin on Bill Clinton's sex scandal. ('I have a modest proposal. It will probably bring the FBI to my door. But I think that Hillary should shoot Bill and then President Gore should pardon her.') Lively, political and informative--Women of the Revolution not only provides a very necessary overview of the fight for women's rights but also gives an idea of where the fight is headed next.
