A decent look at what is wrong with the discussion around women and women's issues in the modern world. The author dissects feminism without rancor, because she herself wants to see feminism succeed in their best goals. She presents a much more balanced picture than is often the case; the book avoids polemics. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

When "man is the measure of all things," woman is forever trying to measure up. In this enlightening book, Carol Tavris unmasks the widespread but invisible custom -- pervasive in the social sciences, medicine, law, and history -- of treating men as the normal standard, women as abnormal. Tavris expands our vision of normalcy by illuminating the similarities between women and men and showing that the real differences lie not in gender, but in power, resources, and life experiences.

Tavris sets out the thesis clearly in the introduction: "My concern is with a growing tendency to turn the tables from us-them thinking (with women as the problem) to them-us thinking (with men as the problem). Framing the question in terms of polarities, regardless of which pole is the valued one, immediately sets up false choices for women and men. It continues to divide the world into 'men' and 'women' as if these categories were unified opposites."
Still worth reading today. ( )
