Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
As a woman, Kate O'Beirne can say things a male commentator
could never get away with. In her long-awaited first book, she
takes on America's leading feminists and confronts them with hard
evidence of how women like them have done more harm than good over
the last four decades. O'Beirne is all for women's equality and
celebrates the unprecedented opportunities they enjoy today. But,
she faults those feminists who believe that a hostile patriarchy
reigns and that women remain its helpless victims. Their agenda is
not pro-female; it's merely anti-male.
Women Who Make the World Worse challenges beliefs that
have become feminist orthodoxy, starting with the myth that men are
the enemy of women's progress and provides some old-fashioned
common sense about relations between the sexes. O'Beirne marshals
her allies, prepares for a good fight, and never loses her sense of
humor.
KATE O'BEIRNE is the Washington Editor of National Review
magazine. She was a panelist on CNN's The Capital Gang
for ten years and a former vice president of The Heritage
Foundation.
