Description
Reviews / Votes
"This book is frankly opinionated, though far from close-minded, and joins analytic arguments with appeals to sensibility... Time and again, Purdy points out double standards, juxtaposing the ways in which we frame and judge women's behavior with the ways in which we frame and judge behavior elsewhere." -- Margaret Olivia Little, Kennedy Institute of Ethics, Women and HealthMore details
