    About this ebook

    A provocative collection of essays by one of the foremost thinkers of second-wave feminism
    In a career spanning four decades, Alix Kates Shulman has written on issues ranging from marriage, sex, and divorce to religious identity, age, and family devotion. Throughout her diverse body of work runs a staunch advocacy of equal rights and social justice. Beginning with her provocative essay “A Marriage Agreement,” written in 1969, and continuing through to the heartrending “Caring for an Ill Spouse, and Other Caregivers,” written in 2011, this collection provides a window into the social movements that defined an era.   Witty, stirring, and poignant, A Marriage Agreement and Other Essays illustrates how each generation, in Shulman’s words, “can do no more than add its bit to the endless river of consciousness and change.”

      Incels: As If Hating Women Could Get You A Girlfriend

      May 6, 2018

      What are we to make of "incels," the oddball community of frustrated guys who go online to complain about how they can't find women who want to have sex with them? Gee, I wonder why? There's room for all sorts of opinions on the web, I like to think.
