We’ve been duped. We were raised to think we could have it all. In college we were told that men weren’t necessary. Pop culture told us that career, not family, came first. The idea of being a stay-at-home mom was for losers. And yet, are we happier than our mothers or grandmothers, who grew up before women were “liberated” by the sexual revolution? For many women, the answer is no.
In The Politically Incorrect Guide to Women, Sex, and Feminism, Carrie Lukas, a young career woman and new mother, sets the record straight: correcting the lies women have been told and slamming the door on the screaming harpies of NOW, feminist professors, and the rest of the bra-burners who have done so much to wreck women’s lives.

"A primer on the feminist movement for those of us who aren't quite sure that the second and third wave gals got it right. Also for those who don't know what I mean by second and third wave gals. "

“A whole generation of ‘liberated’ women has been kept in the dark by feminists in the schools, universities, and media. Carrie Lukas exposes the damage these ideologues have wreak and gives young women the chance to make truly informed decisions about their own lives. It’s the advice your mother should have given you but may have been afraid to.”
— Linda Chavez, author of An Unlikely Conservative: The Transformation of an Ex-Liberal“The Politically Incorrect Guide to Women, Sex, and Feminism is a lively, well-written, and well-researched antidote to feminist agitprop from an author who is authentically pro-women. This book is a must read for those who care about the next generation of young women.”
— Kate O’Beirne, Washington editor, National Review“Carrie Lukas’ sane voice provides a much needed reality check and sound advice for young women, which stands out in an arena where proselytizing substitutes for dispassionate careful thought.”
— Dr. Drew Pinksy, host of Strictly Sex with Dr. Drew on Discovery Health Channel and Loveline" A quick walk through feminism of the past quarter-century with a focus on marriage, child care, sex, and other second-wave feminist concerns. <br/> <br/>I wish this book would have offered perspectives beyond the lives of Western, white women. "
— Holly, 3/22/2010" Good info even though nothing I was unaware of. The material could have been presented with a bit more decorum. "
— faithful, 7/29/2008" My wife thought I was crazy when I told her I wanted this book, but it really does have a lot of great information that offsets traditionally accepted notions about the nuclear family, Roe v. Wade, and the glass cieling. "
— Atchisson, 1/31/2008" This book was well written. A lot of great facts and studies. It was a pretty quick read. Good book to reference back to. "
