by Naomi Wolf
First published 2017
The 2016 election laid bare the toxic double standards and overt misogyny women face in American politics. Feminist icon Naomi Wolf dissects this watershed moment, drawing on her decades of experience as a political advisor to illuminate the insidious ways sexism limits women's power. From the vicious "wolf whistle" smear campaigns to the relentless policing of female candidates' appearances, Wolf Whistle Politics is a bracing indictment of a system still rigged against women. Yet this is no dispassionate academic treatise - Wolf writes with the fire of personal outrage, and her clear-eyed analysis offers a blueprint for the feminist revolution America so desperately needs.
