Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory (Crossing Press Feminist (Paperback)) Paperback – March 1, 1983

Thought Provoking

Marilyn Frye is an incredible writer and philosopher and this book is absolutely indispensable to any woman who wants to learn about radical feminism.

The author is such a powerful writer. She is clear and sharp, and her descriptions are illuminating. It is also very forward thinking for 1983--and for now.

Kept seeing quotes of this book in other feminist books. Decided to get it. Awesome read. Writer was waaaay ahead of her time. A compendium of her essays. If you read feminist nonfiction, you’ll love this one.

Marilyn Frye's introduction to feminism and her clear discussions of the principle vital subjects relevant to our society is timeless - and priceless!This short intense book contains articles and previous lectures presenting analyses of the relationships between women and men, blacks and whites, gay men and women.The chapter on women's anger and how it is responded to in society, the chapter "On being White", the chapter on women in general called "In and out of Harm's Way: Arrogance and Love", and the brilliant discussion of lesbian identity, "To Be and Be Seen:the Politics of Reality" - all are classics, creating a foundation for understanding the structure of society.Thank you Amazon for continuing to sell it and for your speedy delivery, even overseas!!!

Great essays in feminism. I advise any modern day feminist to read. It has great ideas that the individual can take in and help to understand the world around them and how women can/have to navigate through them.

This book was one of the first pieces of Queer/Feminist writing that I read many, many years ago that helped me to start thinking critically. It's a bit dense, but a must read for everyone.

Fantastic book- makes a great gift for anyone interested in feminism.
