Liberty for Women: Freedom and Feminism in the 21st Century

1 review
Wendy McElroy

Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 2002

Feminism with a future
Editor Wendy McElroy is one of the leading lights of 'ifeminism' (a term she coined) -- feminism with an individualist, libertarian emphasis, as opposed to the collectivist, group-rights orientation of more traditional, left-leaning feminism. In place of the tired old orthodoxies of today's victim-feminism, the provocative, insightful, and energetic essays collected here reveal a feminism fit for ...

Dissenting Electorate: Those Who Refuse to Vote and the Legitimacy of Their Opposition

2 reviews

McFarland & Company, 2000

Great contribution to political (and anti-political) theory
In a 1984 speech, Wendy McElroy -- a great individualist anarchist and co-editor of this collection -- said, "[I]t has become necessary for individualist anarchism to develop a comprehensive defense of anti-political theory in order to counter the grotesque spectacle of anarchists running for President." In this book, she and her co-editor Carl Watner have taken an important step in this ...

Wendy McElroy

McFarland & Company, 2001

Classic McElroy: precise, logical, spirited... not boring!
Several years ago, when I was finding myself generally annoyed with what I saw as a negative editorial attitude in Liberty magazine, I came upon an article that electrified me. This article was clear, concise, logical and utterly devastating of some alarming idiocies I perceived as having taken over the feminist movement. The article was written by someone I'd never heard of, but someone for whom ...

Individualist Feminism of the Nineteenth Century: Collected Writings and Biographical Profiles
Wendy McElroy

McFarland & Company, 2001

Feminism today has many definitions, but to a large degree, the movement has its roots in nineteenth century individualist feminism, which was based on the theory that all humans should be treated as sovereign individuals, regardless of gender, race, or religion. This once-shocking idea was championed by many individuals and publications now largely forgotten. This unique work covers the history of the individualist feminism movement and of ...

A Real Keeper
Wendy McElroy has written the book I have been looking for--a sensible self-help guide for anyone desiring to boost her/his intellectual prowess. Overlook the author's bias against feminism and her sometimes too personal or irrelevant anecdotes, and you have a very usable schema for developing your personal intellectual strategy. I am buying copies for my daughter and sister too!

if you love porn, this will arm you against its opponents. if you hate it this will most likely change your mind or at least give you a reasoned argument to consider. mcelroy combines interviews and surveys and refutes feminist canon on a subject that is relevant but taboo in our society and thus underresearched.
