The Miseducation of Women Summary

The Miseducation of Women by James Tooley

Current education policy is not in the interests of women. An injustice is being perpetrated.--James Tooley in the Introduction To what extent has feminism benefited women? To what extent have women really been liberated? James Tooley argues that the implication of many women's testimony is that feminism so far has failed to deliver the promised benefits and has even in some ways proved harmful. Bringing together many women's voices, from Simone de Beauvoir to Bridget Jones, he provides a radical rethinking for feminism and sexual politics in the twenty-first century.

The Miseducation of Women Reviews

Judging from the attention his anti-feminist thesis has received, he seems to have struck a chord--or in some cases, a nerve.--Daily Telegraph
It could be the first major political realignment of the 21st century; James Tooley, the right-wing champion of private education, agreeing (in part, at least) with libertarian feminist Germaine Greer....What is certain is that this book is designed to create a stir.--The Times Educational Supplement
Those icons of feminism come in for a bashing....Tooley argues that one strand of feminism dominates education, a strand that says women must be free to act like men, and if necessary must be forced to be free.--Independent on Sunday
