About this title

Review:

This is an entertaining work: funny, fast and peppered with collected gems about how the female revolution has gone a bit wonky (Glasgow Herald)

'A rumination about the inscrutability of men, the perils of dating, male anchor clones, makeup, shopping and the demise of feminism in a sex-drenched society - all while showing a little leg' (Washington Post)

'An accessible, enjoyable work exploring the situation of women 40 years after feminism began effecting change in western society... Are Men Necessary? is just about as provocative as they come' (Sunday Business Post (Eire))

'If you care at all about a fair society, the message contained within this breezy, funny book is just as relevant to men as women' (Stoke on Trent Sentinel Series)

'A blistering critique of modern gender relations...Dowd has clearly touched a nerve. And you only touch a nerve by telling the truth' (Salon.com)

Book Description:

The controversial bestseller on sexual politics by the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who has been described as 'the most dangerous columnist in America'
