Summary:
"Letters to a Young Feminist is a visionary message from a leading feminist revolutionary to the generation of feminists. Phyllis Chesler discusses the basic aspects of feminism, explains feminism's relevance in a world that has taken it for granted and decrided it, and helps the next generation toward reclaiming feminism for itself. Chesler examines sisterhood, sex, families and motherhood, work, feminist heroism, and the economics of power, providing guidance to the generation to come."--Back cover.
