The new Victorians Book

A brilliant lambasting of the excesses of 90's-style "difference" feminism from a refreshingly liberal point of view. Denfeld suggests that the failure to pass the Equal Rights Amendment in 1982 began a process that eventually led some feminists down a path of excess, and others out of the movement (and this largely left feminism to the extremists). Denfeld's main point is a compelling comparison between these radical feminists, (with their moral crusades against men, sex, and pornography, and their politicization of lesbianism and goddess worship), and the Victorians of the 19th Century.
A brave, gutsy (some would say nervy) little book.
