Synopsis
This book is an exploration of man`s fear and deeply repressed envy of woman`s power and sexuality. By examining the subordination of women in the United States and three developing areas, conflicting attitudes of purity and pollution are evident. The struggle to be a man and the favoritism of boys are taken into account. The triumphs and surrenders of gender battles around the world are given a new insightful look. A thoughtful and provocative book that questions many assumptions.
