Nearly a half-century after the women's liberation movement, women have achieved things that their grandmothers might only have dreamed. Now that women work in boardrooms, executive suites, and top government positions, as well as in the home, some believe that the fight has been won. For others, the perception that women are on equal footing with men is dangerous. Through diverse perspectives, this enlightening volume explores the current debates on feminism's front, including the pay gap, violence against women, substandard health care, reproductive rights, and representation in government.
