The Essence of Feminism

Feminism has permeated the modern world – it affects how we act, how we think, how we speak.  It is one of the most powerful forces in Western society.  How did it get to be that way?  Are its claims true and are its arguments valid?

In this book, Kirsten Birkett has researched the origins of modern feminism, what is fought for and what it has achieved.  She identifies some of the flaws which underline the movement, and concludes these have ultimately been harmful for women.
