Click here to read Reviews
"Sweeping vision, sharp wit, and in-depth research . . . a road map to how the Far Right and conservative religious forces succeeded in pushing women's rights back from victories in the 1970s into an era in which women must begin again." - Rita Henley Jensen editor in chief Women's eNews
"Sexism in America is vital reading for everyone to ensure that the quality of life for women continues to transform to ultimately create complete gender equality." - Dr. Jane Greer, Author of How Could You Do This To Me? Learning To Trust After Betrayal
"In no-nonsense fashion, Berg lays out the case for a renewed feminist movement that can be at the center of progressive politics. Her passion and humor demonstrate why feminism is not a threat to us men but a gift - a philosophy and a politics that can help us all become more fully human." --Robert Jensen, University of Texas at Austin, author of Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity
"Thank goodness for Sexism in America! It exposes one of the best-kept secrets of our time. Slowly and steadily the progress toward justice and equality women achieved during the Women's Movement of the Seventies has been stripped away until in many ways, things are worse now than before it began. Barbara Berg does a fantastic job showing us how and why this has happened - including the role of corporate greed. And she shows us what we can do about it. The time has come for a new wave of feminism and Sexism in America is just what we need to help bring it on!" - Diane E. Levin, Ph.D., Professor of Education, Wheelock College, Co-author of So Sexy So Soon
"Sexism in America is a powerful and passionate analysis of the systematic degradation of feminist accomplishments - in education, employment, athletics, and elsewhere - and the virulent resurgence of sexism. In this convincingly argued and poignantly written analysis, Berg assiduously documents the conservative politics, policies, and practices that have caused American women and girls unremitting harm since the Reagan era - and especially under George Bush. Berg's is an undaunted vision of an anti-feminist past and its disastrous influence: an insecure present and uncertain future for females. Reminding us that the "personal is political," this book will provide women with an unambiguous understanding of a broader pattern of gender inequality. The daily incidents, insults, assaults, and setbacks that feel unfair to women and girls, turn out to be, deliberately unjust." - Miriam Forman-Brunell, Professor of History at University of Missouri-Kansas City, author, Babysitter: An American History (2009), Girlhood in America: An Encyclopedia (2001), The Story of Rose O'Neill: A Memoir (1997), and Made to Play House (1993)
