Providing a fresh vision of the feminist movement, and steering it in a direction that will appeal to society at large, this book presents unique ideas about love and feminism. Practical and realistic, it point out self-help steps to becoming more loving. It offers concrete ways to prevent the personal and social causes of human destructiveness. Our world can be transformed by acts of love that work to eliminate all forms of domination and actualize respect, liberty, equality, and justice for all men and women.
