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.
