5 out of 5 stars A must read for feminists, political activists, and students of all stripes........2006-01-03

Phelan's book is still cutting edge. She asks and answers important questions about how to identify political battles and mobilize for change. Should women fight for 'women's issues'? Does the entire GLBT community have a responsibility to each other to stand shoulder-to-shoulder to fight for marriage rights? Phelan's book offers an interesting insight into questions such as these and challenges many "party lines" about unity and political accomplishment. The book is brief and easy to read. A perfect text for a women's studies course or for anyone interested in political activism in the postmodern world.
