About this listen

 Philosophy professor Christina Sommers has exposed a disturbing development: how a group of zealots, claiming to speak for all women, are promoting a dangerous new agenda that threatens our most cherished ideals and sets women against men in all spheres of life. In case after case, Sommers shows how these extremists have propped up their arguments with highly questionable but well-funded research, presenting inflammatory and often inaccurate information and stifling any semblance of free and open scrutiny. Trumpeted as orthodoxy, the resulting "findings" on everything from rape to domestic abuse to economic bias to the supposed crisis in girls' self-esteem perpetuate a view of women as victims of the "patriarchy".

Who Stole Feminism? is a call to arms that will enrage or inspire, but cannot be ignored.

Fantastic book by Hoff-Summers who continues to speak widely in the topic. As relevant now as it was a quarter century ago!

Well written, read, and very informative

The research behind this book shines through and the reader is rewarded with some well informed argument that shows how feminism has been corrupted by extreme gender feminists whose hurtful and harmful agendas are creating unnecessary and unjust enmity between the sexes. Sommers speaks with authority in de bunking the many myths and "facts" that have been spouted about rape, oppression, wage gaps, and inequality. she shows how data has been falsified and re-packaged to support the hate agenda.
This is a wonderful audible offering, beautifully presented and completely engrossing.

A wonderful and important book

Should have used a younger sounding narrator. This one sounds like a stuffy, annoying, school mistress, and it makes me switch off despite the content.

Awful narrator

A very eye opening and detailed breakdown of how ideological feminism has become the establishment

Eye opening!

I am amazed at the quality of this book and all researched that the author did to put this book together.
Probably if I have read this book a few years ago I'd be angry knowing what has really been behind the gender terrorists aka gender feminists.
A lot of people, including me a few years ago, are feminist, without understanding what is behind it. I've completely changed my mind aroud feminism recently and this book helps me have a conversation around it.
No one in is right mind would be against the first waive, the original feminism.
These gender feminists are corrupt and have brought a lot of misery to women.
I'll be recommending this book to everybody I know.
So glad I read it!

Fantastic and recommended! Everybody should read i
