Recensione:

Praise for Susan Brownmiller:

Against Our Will: Men, Women, and Rape:

"The most rigorous and provocative piece of scholarship that has yet emerged from the feminist movement. . . . May significantly change the terms of the dialogue between and about men and women."
--Time magazine

"Chilling and monumental. . . . Deserves a place next to those rare books which force us to change the way we feel about what we know."
--The New York Times Book Review

"Susan Brownmiller has succeeded in that rarest and most difficult task: She has written a book that not only must be read but also is readable. As a literary experience this book is as excellent as its ideas."
--Chicago Tribune Book World

"Against Our Will is a work of stunning originality which goes far beyond the statistics of rape to challenge some of society's most accepted assumptions. . . . A landmark work, one of the most significant books to emerge in this decade."
--Houston Chronicle

"A monumental work and a thoroughly chilling eye opener."
--St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Femininity:

"Illuminating and informative. Miss Brownmiller has turned a treacherous subject into a lively and compelling book . . . essential reading."
--Carol Gilligan, The New York Times Book Review

"She eloquently tells stories many women will identify with."
--The Washington Post Book World

"A positive joy to read!"
--Nora Ephron, Chicago Tribune Book World
