The Flipside of Feminism Powerful new book offers fresh insights on feminism WASHINGTON — Forty years have passed since the so-called women’s movement claimed to liberate women from preconceived notions of what it means to be female — and the results are in. The latest statistics from the National Bureau of Economic Research show that as women have gained more freedom, more education, and more power, they have become less happy. Enough, says Suzanne Venker, an emerging young author, and veteran warrior Phyllis Schlafly. It’s time to liberate America from feminism’s deadend road and cast off the ideology that preaches faux empowerment and liberation from men and marriage. While modern women enjoy unprecedented freedom and opportunities, Venker and Schlafly argue that this progress is not the result of feminism. Women’s progress has been a natural evolution – due in large part to men’s contributions. American men are not a patriarchal bunch, as feminists claim. They have, in fact, aided women’s progress. And like women, they have been just as harmed by the feminist movement. In The Flipside of Feminism (Release date: March 15, 2011), Venker and Schlafly provide readers with a new view of women in America — one that runs counter to what Americans have been besieged with for decades in universities, the mainstream media and popular culture. Their book demonstrates that conservative women are, in fact, the most liberated women in America and the folks to whom young people should be turning for advice. The authors advocate a common-sense approach to the issue of marriage and motherhood. Rather than belabor the tired notion of balance, they provide a step-by-step guide for how women can embrace their maternal desire, maintain strong marriages and also carve out a life of their own. SUZANNE VENKER, aka “No Bull Mom,” is an author, blogger, and former middle school teacher. In addition to blogging for Right Pundits, Suzanne is a featured writer at David Horowitz’s NewsReal, where she writes about the left’s effect on American society. Suzanne Venker’s first book, 7 Myths of Working Mothers, was published in 2008. Suzanne is also the niece of her co-author. PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY has been a national leader of the conservative movement since the publication of her bestselling 1964 book, A Choice Not an Echo. She has been a leader of the pro-family movement since 1972 when she started her national volunteer organization, Eagle Forum. In a ten-year battle, Mrs. Schlafly led the pro-family movement to victory over the principal legislative goal of the radical feminists called the Equal Rights Amendment.
