Misogynies: Reflections on Myths and Malice

"MISOGYNIES is a superb and vivid piece of writing, eminently readable, wonderfully fresh."
PHYLLIS CHESLER
Author of WOMEN AND MADNESS
In this collection of stinging essays Joan Smith explores the phenomenon of women-hating in politics, religion, history, literature, and popular culture on both sides of the Atlantic. A fascinating collection from the mind of a scholar, educator, and observer of our society, MISOGYNIES will make readers of both genders wonder more about the excuses for hatred of women we create as a society, why we accept them, and what it means to all of our lives.
