Book Description
"Feminism will make it possible for the first time for men to be free."Step into the dynamic world of feminist thought with Floyd Dell's seminal work, a cornerstone of feminist literature that continues to resonate with readers today. Delving into the lives and legacies of pioneering figures such as Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Emmeline Pankhurst, and Jane Addams, Dell's insightful essays offer a comprehensive exploration of modern feminism. From the literary activism of Olive Schreiner to the political fervor of Emma Goldman, Dell examines the diverse contributions of women as architects of social progress and champions of human rights. Through meticulous analysis and passionate advocacy, he highlights the pivotal roles played by figures such as Margaret Dreier Robins, Ellen Key, and others in shaping the feminist movement. This edition, with Dell's timeless essays, underscores the enduring relevance of his work in the contemporary fight for gender equality. Whether you're a seasoned feminist scholar or a newcomer to the field, this book is essential reading for anyone passionate about advancing the cause of women's rights and understanding the multifaceted nature of modern feminism. Floyd Dell, hailed as "one of the most flamboyant, versatile and influential American Men of Letters of the first third of the 20th Century," brings his unique perspective and literary prowess to bear in this compelling collection. His depth of insight and engaging prose make his writings not only informative but also a pleasure to read. In 2015, he was inducted into the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame, solidifying his legacy as a literary luminary. Extract: "But first the explanation of why I, a man, write these articles on feminism. It involves the betrayal of a secret: the secret, that is, of the apparent indifference or even hostility of men toward the woman's movement. The fact is, as has been bitterly recited by the rebellious leaders of their sex, that women have always been what man wanted them to be-have changed to suit his changing ideals. The fact is, furthermore, that the woman's movement of today is but another example of that readiness of women to adapt themselves to a masculine demand. Men are tired of subservient women; or, to speak more exactly, of the seemingly subservient woman who effects her will by stealth-the pretty slave with all the slave's subtlety and cleverness. So long as it was possible for men to imagine themselves masters, they were satisfied. But when they found out that they were dupes, they wanted a change. If only for self-protection, they desired to find in woman a comrade and an equal. In reality they desired it because it promised to be more fun. So that we have as the motive behind the rebellion of women an obscure rebellion of men. Why, then, have men appeared hostile to the woman's rebellion? Because what men desire are real individuals who have achieved their own freedom. It will not do to pluck freedom like a flower and give it to the lady with a polite bow. She must fight for it."

Book Description
The feminist movement can be dealt with in two ways: it can be treated as a sociological abstraction, and discussed at length in heavy monographs; or it can be taken as the sum of the action of a lot of women, and taken account of in the lives of individual women. The latter way would be called "journalistic," had not the late William James used it in his "Varieties of Religious Experience." It is a method which preserves the individual flavor, the personal tone and color, which, after all, are the life of any movement. It is, therefore, the method I have chosen for this book.

Book Description
From the fiery intellectual provocateur— and one of our most fearless advocates of gender equality—a brilliant, urgent essay collection that both celebrates modern feminism and challenges us to build an alliance of strong women and strong men. Ever since the release of her seminal first book, Sexual Personae, Camille Paglia has remained one of feminism’s most outspoken, independent, and searingly intelligent voices. Now, for the first time, her best essays on the subject are gathered together in one concise volume. Whether she’s calling for equal opportunity for American women (years before the founding of the National Organization for Women), championing a more discerning standard of beauty that goes beyond plastic surgery’s quest for eternal youth, lauding the liberating force of rock and roll, or demanding free and unfettered speech on university campuses and beyond, Paglia can always be counted on to get to the heart of matters large and small. At once illuminating, witty, and inspiring, these essays are essential reading that affirm the power of men and women and what we can accomplish together.
