Reviews

Herbert traces the shifting ideologies that have created and justified the sexually abusive behavior of men in 19th-and 20th century America, mainly through an examination of literary texts...His conclusions about the past and present culture of misogyny in America are as convincing as they are sobering, but Herbert sounds a hopeful note throughout, believing that Americans can draw on their democratic traditions to achieve more egalitarian sexual relations. His brave, highly personal prologue and epilogue serve to humanize the author...Highly recommended. -- Andrew Brodie Smith Library Journal (10/15/2002)


[Herbert] exposes the myths that allow men to justify sexual domination, whether it takes the form of physical abuse or exclusion from decision-making.--Leon Howell Christian Century (06/01/2004)
