To what extent has feminism benefited women? Arguing that so far feminism has failed to deliver the promised benefits for many women and has even proved harmful, this text brings together women's voices, from Bridget Jones to Simone de Beauvoir, to provide a radical rethink for the 21st century.
"Current education policy is not in the interests of women. An injustice is being perpetrated."--James Tooley in the Introduction To what extent has feminism benefited women? To what extent have women really been liberated? James Tooley argues that the implication of many women's testimony is that feminism so far has failed to deliver the promised benefits and has even in some ways proved harmful. Bringing together many women's voices, from Simone de Beauvoir to Bridget Jones, he provides a radical rethinking for feminism and sexual politics in the twenty-first century.
