Persuasive, fair, entertaining, wonderfully informed, diverting

- Fay Weldon, Daily Mail

As ground-breaking in its own way as its two important predecessors, Simone de Beauvoir's <i>The Second Sex </i>and Betty Friedan's <i>The Feminine Mystique</i>, Faludi's book is just as gripping

Newsweek

Recommended as essential reading for both sexes
