- Description
- Rhode analyzes the challenges the feminist movement faces today.She focuses on five main topics: employment issues such as pay discrimination, work-life balance and the government's pitiful response, the assault on women's reproductive rights and the limits it places on their economic mobility, sexual harassment and violence, and the detrimental effect that the unfashionable label 'feminist' can have, especially in attracting young women to the movement. Despite these obstacles, Rhode thinks that the goals and principles of feminism are widely accepted by the American mainstream.
