The first wave you've never heard of ; The second wave's historical revisionism ; The first feminist blockbuster ; The sexual revolutionaries ; Pre- and extramarital sex goes mainstream ; The dead hands of Marx and Freud ; Schisms ; Regrets -- Vive la difference.

The campus rape industrial complex ; Star chambers ; Victim blaming ; The elusive numbers ; Crimes ; Sexual assault is not a myth ; Believing victims ; Something is very wrong: it must be men -- Family. Toxic masculinity ; A nostalgia trap? ; The ghost of the Moynihan report ; A happiness gap ; Sex wars ; Baby carriage before marriage ; Lost men ; How do you know it's marriage? ; About that clock -- Having it all. Motherhood is not oppression ; Social engineers strike out ; The mommy track ; Human flourishing.In this smart, deeply necessary critique, Mona Charen unpacks the ways feminism fails us at home, in the workplace, and in our personal relationships--by promising that we can have it all, do it all, and be it all. Here, she upends the feminist agenda and the liberal conversation surrounding women's issues by asking tough and crucial questions, such as: Did women's full equality require the total destruction of the nuclear family? Did it require a sexual revolution that would dismantle traditions of modesty, courtship, and fidelity that had characterized relations between the sexes for centuries? Did it cause the broken dating culture and the rape crisis on our college campuses? Did it require war between the sexes that would deem men the "enemy" of women? Have the strides of feminism made women happier in their home and work life. (The answer is No.) "Sex Matters" tracks the price we have paid for denying sex differences and stoking the war of the sexes--family breakdown, declining female happiness, aimlessness among men, and increasing inequality. Marshaling copious social science research as well as her own experience as a professional as well as a wife and mother, Mona Charen calls for a sexual ceasefire for the sake of women, men, and children.

The woman who split the atom [sound recording] : the life of Lise Meitner / by Moss, Marissa,author.(CARDINAL)769728; Rustin, Sandy,narrator.;
Narrated by Sandy Rustin.The gripping story of Lise Meitner, the physicist who discovered nuclear fission. As a female Jewish physicist in Berlin during the early twentieth century, Lise Meitner had to fight for an education, a job, and equal treatment in her field. Meitner made groundbreaking strides in the study of radiation, but when Hitler came to power in Germany, she had to face not only sexism but life-threatening anti-Semitism as well. Nevertheless, she persevered and one day made a discovery that rocked the world: the splitting of the atom. While her male lab partner was awarded a Nobel Prize for the achievement, the committee refused to credit her.Suddenly, the race to build the atomic bomb was on-although Meitner, a pacifist, was horrified to be associated with such a weapon. "A physicist who never lost her humanity," Meitner wanted only to figure out how the world works.The Woman Who Split the Atom is a fascinating look at Meitner's fierce passion, integrity, and her lifelong struggle to have her contributions to physics recognized.
