Author: Cathy Young

"'Ceasefire!' is a meticulously documented and brilliantly reasoned indictment of the radical feminist establishment. It demolishes a host of fashionable feminist (and antifeminist) arguments and myths -- doing it all with style, wit, and absorbing readability. This definitive book will take American feminism to a new and more reasonable stage." --Christina Hoff Sommers ($9.00)

($19.95)
