There is an extensive bibliography for further reading on this vital subject, as well, and extensive headnotes on all the authors. An immensely rich collection for a nominal price! And from a not-for-profit press, The Feminist Press with N.G.O. status at the United Nations--a press with the expressed mission of getting women's voices from all cultures out into the wide world in order to improve the status of women in all walks of life and endeavors.

"This is a book one hopes will be translated into all languages of humankind."

yeah? how about ManTalk?
This one sentence, and the article above, illustrates why so many women continue to be trivialized. This drivel happens when they take their gender more seriously than their intellects.
