American women look at French women as having it all: sex,
motherhood, work, and public office, while French women look at
American women as puritanical, excessively feminist, and unable to
"have it all" without guilt. The essays in this book by leading
American and French academics and critics set the record straight
by assessing the truth of each outlook. They conclude that facts
are different from imagination, and that on many issues, French
feminists could actually look to the U.S. for inspiration. This
book offers the first comparative critical appraisal of how women
live in the US and in France and suggests paths of reflection on
what women can do to improve their lives in the twenty-first
century. This is a must read for anyone interested in the nature of
womanhood today in the Western World.
