WHO'S AFRAID OF FEMINISM? challenges the myth that women are out in the world working on the same terms as men, as well as the myth of the domesticated man. It dissects the process of the dismantling of gender and the return to a naive masculinist understanding of women's place. Finally, it challenges the idea of women as a universal category, arguing instead for a recognition of multiple social groups in which women exist in different political regimes and cultural identities.
