Freedom Feminism: Its Surprising History and Why It Matters

Freedom Feminism: Its Surprising History and Why It Matters Today (Values and Capitalism)

Womenâ€™s equality is one of the great achievements of Western civilization. Yet most American women today do not consider themselves â€œfeminists.â€ Why is the term that describes one of the great chapters in the history of freedom in such disrepute?

In Freedom Feminism: Its Surprising History and Why It Matters Today, Christina Hoff Sommers seeks to recover the lost history of American feminism by introducing readers to conservative feminismâ€™s forgotten heroines. More importantly, she demonstrates that a modern version of conservative feminism â€” in which women are free to employ their equal status to pursue happiness in their own distinctive ways â€” holds the key to a feminist renaissance. "Freedom Feminism" is a primer in the Values & Capitalism series intended for college students.
