The illustrative examples - from flappers to Twiggy to body-piercing - are often poignant, occasionally infuriating, but always illuminating and thought-provoking."

She challenges feminists to move beyond appearances and to return their focus to the true mission of the moment: equality for all women everywhere."--Jacket. |
