The contributors to this important new collection offer a vision of
contemporary feminism that runs counter to and goes beyond the
dominant attitudes of the feminist orthodoxy. Basing their
arguments on individual rights and personal responsibility, the
contributors to Liberty for Women offer surprising views on a wide
range of issues that confront modern women: self-defense, sexual
freedom, reproduction, economic well-being, the promise of
technology, and the place of traditional values, including the
family. This new feminism, for example, asserts the right of gun
ownership, champions the free market as the best hope for women s
prosperity, defends abortion rights, and values traditions. It sees
choice as the key for all women, from housewives to CEOs, from
prostitutes to mothers. The contributors include Camille Paglia,
Norma Jean Almodovar, Matthew Y. Biscan, Lois Copeland, Janis
Cortese, Richard A. Epstein, Faith Gibson, Mimi Gladstein, Wendy
McElroy, Martha C. Nussbaum, Ellen Frankel Paul, Rita J. Simon,
Richard W. Stevens, Nadine Strossen, Alexander Tabarrok, Hugo
Tuefel III, and Cathy Young. Liberty for Women is an eye-opening
collection that is certain to challenge, annoy, and entertain.
Published in association with The Independent Institute.
