Learn morePhilosophy professor Christina Sommers exposes a disturbing development: how a group of zealots, claiming to speak for all women, are promoting a dangerous new agenda that threatens our most cherished ideals and sets women against men in all spheres of life. In case after case, Sommers shows how these extremists have propped up their arguments with highly questionable but well-funded research, presenting inflammatory and often inaccurate information and stifling any semblance of free and open scrutiny. Trumpeted as orthodoxy, the resulting โfindingsโ on everything from domestic abuse to economic bias to the supposed crisis in girlsโ self-esteem perpetuate a view of women as victims of the โpatriarchy.โ Who Stole Feminism? is a call to arms that will enrage or inspire, but cannot be ignored.
Christina Hoff Sommersย has a PhD in philosophy from Brandeis University and was a professor of philosophy at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. She has written for such publications as the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the Washington Post. She is the author of Who Stole Feminism? How Women Have Betrayed Women. She is married, has two sons and lives in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
Reviews
โSommersโ voice is brashly confrontational; her approach is both investigative and polemical. But one need not accept her politics to appreciate the best of her book: its critical reporting.โ
โMs. Sommers simply lines up her facts and shoots one bullโs-eye after another.โ
โLikely to be the most talked-about manifesto since Susan Faludiโs Backlash.โ
โChristina Hoff Summers has done something lethally deflating to the pretensions of the shriller sort of feminists: she looked at their evidence and found it lacking.โ
โAn incisive description of the heartbreaking violence done social science by polemicists who confuse righteousness with rightness.โ
