Review title: Gives New Meaning to the Term "Purple Prose"
Product review: This book is very weak on science and very strong on polemics--a feminist rant based on the work of a handful of interviews with a handful of scholars and, as the reader says below, a mighty slow slog. The author seems in sad need of editing (she seems overly fond of her own screaming voice) and of someone to remind her that in science, at least, evidence is all. This book has all the literary charm of a greeting card, and all the power of a burned out light bulb. Rather than sell it at the end of the semeter, as a reader suggests below, I'd advise that you give it a pass altogether.
