The Death of Feminism: What’s Next in the Struggle for Women’s Freedom

Description

Feminist icon and political activist Phyllis Chesler, author of the 2.5-million copy bestseller “Women and Madness” and the controversial “The New Anti-Semitism, “calls for an overhaul of the women’s movement. In this important book, Phyllis Chesler asks the questions: Within feminism, is there room for free thinkers who oppose the party line? What if a feminist believes in capitalism? God? Patriotism? Chesler is the first to show the crisis in feminism today, which is silencing women and stripping them of power. In order to be a member of the club you must reject capitalism, see religion as a dangerous form of patriarchy, oppose the war, and turn a blind eye to the woman-defeating practices of Islam. The result contradicts the moral and ethical principles feminism was built on. Chesler signals a critical need for women to come together in a pro-individualist form of feminism.
