Publisher's summary

No ideological assault has been more ferocious than radical feminism's 40-year war against women. And no battlefield leader has been more courageous than Phyllis Schlafly. In these dispatches from the battlefront, feminism's most potent foe exposes the delusions and hypocrisy behind a movement that has cheated millions of women out of their happiness, health, and security.

Phyllis Schlafly was one of the first to recognize that radical feminism, like other destructive ideologies, is at odds with human nature. So as the rest of the intellectual elite fell compliantly into line, she took up the fight for the right to be a woman. Feminist Fantasies is the inspiring story of that fight.

Critic reviews

"It's almost unfair for Schlafly to train her analytical mind on the feminists. Time and again she goes like a heat-seeking missile to the heart of the matter....And, as this book demonstrates, she is always right. She has always been right. She will always be right." (Ann Coulter)

Common Sense

One of the finest books on the subject of feminism, well researched and methodically presented. This is a work of serious scholarship, but with the practical insights of a regular woman who is not blinded by the ideological adsurdities of the academic left. Everyone who values ALL people regardless of sex should read (or listen to) this book to hear how some radicals seek to divide us.

This is one of those books...

that inevitably will receive many knee-jerk reactions from politically frenzied people who have never read the thing...but the points Schlaffy makes are clear and precise. Yes, equal rights are important, but modern radical feminism is not about equal rights: it is about hating men and "the patriarchy." It is also about women having to work harder than ever, getting the blunt end of the "sexual revolution" that feminism encouraged, and having a much harder time in relationships that they are trained to despise when things just really aren't that bad most of the time. Look, read the book or don't, but don't judge it until you have turned the last page. (Also see the videos and writings of Dr. Janice Fiamengo and Karen Straughen to see the mindless hate and unfairness that often comes with modern radical feminism. Also Steven Pinker is a good source when he writes or discusses gender: he deems himself an "equality feminist" but eschews the harmful radical stuff.)

READ THIS BOOK!!

There are a few books that come along to give perspective, proper perspective, on how to see the world around you. If you are pro feminist, read this book! If you are anti-feminist, READ THIS BOOK! If you don;t know where you stand on the issue, READ THIS BOOK! Where I never even heard of Phyllis Schlafly, I found that she is a substantial pillar in the conservative movement.

It's an easy read that is really hard to put down. I found myself looking over the book @ 3 AM and realizing how this effects so many issues in every day life. No matter on what side of the issue you stand - Feminism effects YOU every single day.

Really bad and misguided

The author asserts that feminism is propaganda and damaging to women, however it is her own inherent sexism that fuels her misguided beliefs.

An interesting Read

I have to admit that I disagree with a few of Phillis Schlafly's points concerning Judeo-Christian morality for the success of America, pornography, homosexual civil unions, and sexual liberation but kept in mind that Schlafly wrote most of her pamphlets between 1982 and the early 2000's. Most of her writings still ring true today and makes one realize that the issues we women face with feminism today is very similar to what they faced during her time. Although much of what she warned against and legal policies have come to a head or is currently being put in place, with disastrous consequences. A must read for any Contemporary feminist, as this woman does not seem to be well known, but her message is still important. be warned, just as you think you ought to stop listening, keep on listening, she will eventually suprise you at the end.

God is everywhere

Mots of what the author says make sense but why does she equates faith with family values? I am strongly atheist but that does not prevent me to feel the inequity and the bitterness of feminists. Nor

Should be required reading for all girls and women

Should be required reading for all girls and women across the world.

Schlafly was the single greatest reason we don’t have homosexual marriage, females in the draft, and abortion- among other horrible ideas, written into the US Constitution by defeating the Equal Rights Amendment.

She was a trailblazer and incredible defender of traditional and conservative values.

Feminism actually benefits men! Odd as that seems, it is meant to destroy the home maker and male/female relationships.

Reject modernism ladies. Your greatest legacy is creating a nurturing and loving home for your husband and children.

Excellent overview of feminism in politics, agenda, theory

Great overview of feminism through the sexual revolution to early 2000s. Boring narrator with an almost mechanical sounding voice, but well worth the listen for the content!
