Synopsis
The bestselling feminist novel that awakened both women and men, The Women's Room follows the transformation of Mira Ward and her circle as the women's movement begins to have an impact on their lives. A biting social commentary on an emotional world gone silently haywire, The Women's Room is a modern classic that offers piercing insight into the social norms accepted so blindly and revered so completely. Marilyn French questions those accepted norms and poignantly portrays the hopeful believers looking for new truths.

Review
"An experience not to be missed."
--San Francisco Chronicle
--The New York Times
"A book with such honesty, humor, tough sad wisdom and stylistic surety that it speaks from a place where every woman may have been but few have ever articulated . . . Exciting . . . Far-reaching . . . As raggedly true as life . . . I can't think of one novel that has affected me the way The Women's Room has!"
--The Boston Globe
"An important fictional account of a whole generation of women . . . Arresting, very real and poignant."
--The Cleveland Plain Dealer
"I know these women. I've held their hands when their marriages fell apart and cried in their arms when mine did. . . . The characters in The Women's Room are my friends and I love them immeasurably. The book accomplishes for my generation what Doris Lessing's The Golden Notebook did for hers."
--The Baltimore Sun
"The kind of book that changes lives."
--Fay Weldon "[The Women's Room] seized me by my preconceptions and I kept struggling and arguing with its premises. 'Men can't be that bad, ' I kept wanting to shout at the narrator. 'There must be room for accommodation between the sexes that you've somehow overlooked.' And the damnable thing is, she's right."
--Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times
"Today's Desperate Housewives eat your heart out! This is the original and still the best, a page-turner that makes you think."
--Kate Mosse, bestselling author of Labyrinth "Courageous . . . honest . . . powerful. A book you'd like to give to twenty women (and perhaps anonymously, twenty men)."
--Chicago Tribune
