Drawing from a deep well of experience, reflection, and scientific research, Chesler has painted a revealing masterpiece of Woman's dark side. With relentless objectivity and admirable candor, her courage exceeded only by her integrity, Chesler hammers sharp nails into the coffin of feminist wishful thinking about sex and gender roles, explode the sophomoric myth that only men victimize and abuse women, and drives a large stake through the heart of Rousseauseque fantasies. Chesler's love of truth will make her some powerful enemies, but this book is way beyond Simone de Beauvoir.
