Sanity for All in the 21st Century

In her third collection of essays, Elayne Clift again hits home as she explores the issues of our day from a woman-centered perspective. Pithy, often humorous, and always insightful, these are thoughtful and thought-provoking reflections on our fragile and ever-changing world. They are a powerful testimonial to our times from the pen of a seasoned observer and a frequently sassy writer.

"For nay-sayers who insist that feminism is dead, Clift's lively ruminations set the record straight. Covering issues as diverse as the Middle East crisis, welfare reform, the political economy of care-giving, and the aftermath of September 11, her thoughtful essays provide much needed insight into the state of the world and what we can all do to make it saner and more just. If you care at all about the future, read this book. You'll thank the author for encouraging us all."
