| Summary |
"In this collection, an array of frontline thinkers - investigative journalists, social critics, rogue scholars, activists, and media watchdogs - employ wit, outrage, and cold hard facts to reveal the "W Effect," the stealth attack on women. These diverse voices offer analysis of the challenges women face in the workplace, in the economy, in the military, in the bedroom, and in other war zones at home and abroad."--BOOK JACKET |
