FIRE WITH FIRE : The New Female Power and How it will change the 21st Century.

12 reviews
Naomi Wolf

Random House, 1993

The perfect antidote to the "Feminists hate men" myth
I have long believed that the biggest obstacle to re-popularizing feminism is the inaccurate but widespread belief that feminism is fundamentally anti-male. In this very well written tome, Wolf diagnoses this problem and points us all in the direction of overcoming it once and for all. Wolf is rare among feminists in that she is not afraid to acknowledge that, while the patriarchy is primarily ...

The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women

82 reviews
Naomi Wolf

Harper Perennial, 2002

A Very Important Book
The Beauty Myth is a must have for every woman in the world and the men who love them. Naomi Wolf hit the nail on the head about the isolating effect the beauty myth has on women, ie: women viewing each other with suspicion, women enacting painful, masochistic rituals to be "thin enough", "young-looking enough" and "pretty enough", while blinding women to the larger reality of the world like ...

Give Me Liberty: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries
Naomi Wolf

Simon & Schuster, 2008

As the practice of democracy becomes a lost art, Americans are increasingly desperate for a restored nation. Many have a general sense that the "system" is in disorder -- if not on the road to functional collapse. But though it is easy to identify our political problems, the solutions are not always as clear. In Give Me Liberty: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries , bestselling author Naomi Wolf illustrates the breathtaking changes that can ...

Great read
Well organized, step-by-step explanation of how and why sovereign citizens forfeit their liberty to the government. Very, very good read. Highly recommended.

The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot
Naomi Wolf

Tantor Media, 2008

Naomi Wolf exposes how the escalation of executive power has eroded core American values and systems, limiting Congress's ability to make laws and our courts' power to interpret them.

Promiscuities: The Secret Struggle for Womanhood

37 reviews
Naomi Wolf

Ballantine Books, 1998

The Talk of the Town
It is an excellent conversation piece to share with your husband/boyfriend, friends, daughter and mother. It touches on so many issues that are too "weird" to say outloud. It really makes you think about your sexuality and your desires and your relationships with both women and men in a way that validates them for the first time ever. It is thought- provoking and informative. You will read it, ...

The Beauty Myth
Naomi Wolf

Vintage Canada, 1997

The controversial, critically-acclaimed, bestselling book that kickstarted the third wave of feminism is now available with a new introduction and a new look. In 1990, Naomi Wolf published The Beauty Myth - a book that catapulted Wolf into the international spotlight and onto bestseller lists everywhere (88 straight weeks on The Globe and Mail bestseller list). The effects it had on feminist discourse can still be felt today (and in some ways ...

Journalistas: 100 Years of the Best Writing and Reporting by Women Journalists

2 reviews

Seal Press, 2005

I'm reporting this is a must-read book
Having grown up in an era when women are anchoring the national news and where I served as politics section editor of my college newspaper, I take it for granted that women are now reporting (and subsequently making) news. This incredible book says that women's reporting the news has fundamentally been a political act. Not always welcome in a 'male' profession, the pioneers subsequently ...

Misconceptions: Truth, Lies, and the Unexpected on the Journey to Motherhood

112 reviews
Naomi Wolf

Anchor, 2003

OPENED MY EYES
If you're pregnant and don't care if your ob/gyn pumps you full of meds and performs an episiotomy on you and/or a c-section in order to better fit your baby's birth into his busy schedule, then don't read this book. My wife is probably as far from being a rabid feminist as a person can be. But she does happen to have this wacky idea that giving birth ought to be something a woman can do without ...

Women in the Material World

Faith D'Aluisio, Peter Menzel, ...

Sierra Club Books, 1996

Wow!
This book is a superlative sequel to the early Material World by Peter Menzel. I have read the earlier book so many times that when this new volume came out, I bought it immediately sight unseen. In this book, Faith D'Aluisio revisits 19 of the 30 families featured in the Material World to find out about the women's lives. The articles are organized alphabetically, together with short ...

Trafalgar Square, 1998

A must read for any female
I read this at the height of learning to understand being a woman. It was a great tool to have as i tried to rise above judgements, and instead go with my instincts.
