"Sexism in America is vital reading for everyone to ensure that the
quality of life for women continues to transform to ultimately
create complete gender equality." --Dr. Jane Greer, author, How
Could You Do This To Me? Learning To Trust After Betrayal
"Berg . . . offers a wakeup call for young women entering the
cultural and career trenches on what went wrong and how to fix it."
--Publishers Weekly
"Each chapter of this book offers an impassioned plea: feminism is
not dead, but there is still a great need for feminist women and
men to fight for the rights of women in America . . . Highly
recommended." --Library Journal
"In no-nonsense fashion, Berg lays out the case for a renewed
feminist movement that can be at the center of progressive
politics. Her passion and humor demonstrate why feminism is not a
threat to us men but a gift." --Robert Jensen, University of
Texas-Austin, author, Getting Off: Pornography and the End of
Masculinity
"Reminding us that the 'personal is political, ' this book will
provide women with an unambiguous understanding of a broader
pattern of gender inequality." --Miriam Forman-Brunell, professor
of history, University of Missouri-Kansas City; author, Girlhood in
America: An Encyclopedia
"Sweeping vision, sharp wit, and in-depth research . . . a road map
to how the Far Right and conservative religious forces succeeded in
pushing women's rights back from victories in the 1970s into an era
in which women must begin again." --Rita Henley Jensen, editor in
chief, Women's eNews
"The time has come for a new wave of feminism and Sexism in America
