This volume is an anthology of articles written by some 30 female scholars and writers. Each woman draws upon mastery of her discipline and on a commitment to eliminating the social and personal costs of sexism; and also the arguments from current social customs and "Nature" that the editors feel lock both men and women into life-denying stereotypes of masculinity and femininity.
