Taking It Like a Woman

Więcej o książce

Ann Oakley is one of the foremost feminist writers today. In her autobiography, she describes the events that made her a feminist and the kind of mother, wife, academic, and writer she is. This honest, sometimes painful, and absorbing account of her life in the second half of the twentieth century allows every woman to find some reflection of her own personality and feelings. Ann Oakley's life has encompassed great achievements and powerful crises, including a breakdown and serious illness. Interwoven with her personal narrative is the description of a haunting love affair that raises many unsolved problems faced by women today. Ann Oakley's life has never embraced easy answers, and her book, written with clarity and inner perception, encourages us to understand that living with contradictions is not such a bad way of life after all.
