| Summary |
"If you are living in relative comfort in North America -- meaning you have food, clothing, a safe place to live and access to health care and education, you may also grow up thinking there's no need for feminism. But there is. Feminism is not a done deal. In North America, women have the right to vote, and most women have access to legal abortion. Girls can go on to study and work in the fields of their choice. But there is still plenty of gender inequality."--From book jacket. |
