Susan J. Douglas's new book, Enlightened Sexism: The Seductive Message that Feminism's Work is Done is reviewed and excerpted on National Public Radio's website this week. I hope you'll take a look because Douglas considers the same questions we've been asking lately in our class--on women's under-representation in the upper echelons of the work force and in government; and on whether women who choose to be objectified in media representations are actually exercising autonomous sexual power. Plus, Douglas is wickedly funny. Her tone is imminently readable while simultaneously reminding female readers of the dangers of sounding dumb.
