Successful women are afraid to speak up on women's issues for fear of being marginalised, while others are afraid of being 'economically silenced'. The author shows them how to meet fire with fire and to face up to the challenges of the 21st century. She provides a bluepirnt for a revitalised, positive and inclusive brand of feminism, unafraid of success. And, at the same time, she dares women to throw off centuries of conditioning about the relationship between power and femininity, and to realise their enormours economic and political potential in tomorrow's world - as voters, as consumers, as workers, as bosses. Women should no longer be afraid to wrest power and use it in their own way. This crucial and inspiring book shows the way to real equiality in our lifetime. 378 pp. with wraps.

Riassunto

This work calls for a new kind of feminism and new female attitudes to power. The author argues that the feminist movement has to change if it is to speak to a new generation of women. There is a widening gap between much feminist rhetoric and most women's lives. Even as women are gaining more ground than ever before, a wariness of feminist orthodoxies keeps them away from the only movement capable of putting political clout behind their personal success. "Fire with Fire" aims to provide a blueprint for a revitalized, inclusive brand of feminism. And it is a call to women themselves to throw off centuries of conditioning about the relationship between power and femininity: they must be prepared to wrest power and use it.
