The newspapers are full of it. Everyday a woman faces injustice in one way or another. Our friends complain of divorces that stretch so interminably long over time that they secretly confide that they will pay anything to be rid of their miserable husbands.
Police use women as bait to catch rapists.
Poor mothers are allegedly drinking up their welfare money rather than feeding their starving children. In this burgeoning barrage of propaganda, where can our young women turn, along with their mothers and grandmothers, to dispel the notion that all women should with tea hats, gloves and simpering grins, sit at home and await the arrival of their cute kids and adoring mates. This faceless woman never existed and her representation in the media is insulting. The antidote, I believe, rests in books that supply positive pictures of admirable women. Images of positive, risk-taking women abound.
