Jong's work will last with some of the best and most original that this century has produced." —Naomi Wolf

From the bestselling author of Fear of Fifty comes a provocative, often controversial look at where women have been, where they are now, and where they are going as they approach the new millennium.

Long before Camille Paglia assailed political correctness and Gloria Steinem turned introspective, Erica Jong was exploring the war between the sexes with wisdom and humor. Never predictable in her take on issues, always witty and commonsensical, Erica Jong has always been our best hope for a much-needed truce between the sexes. In this fascinating and insightful new book, she brings together the very best of her meditations on subjects ranging from Hillary Clinton to writing for love, and adds to them new writings on men, women, sex, and the secret of what women really want.

Reviews:

"Jong at her very best--a kind of master class in real life. . .she combines memoir and essay in a completely readable, hilariously opinionated, brilliantly well-informed book."

—Susan Cheever

"Jong's zesty opinions...on lovers and politicians, daughters, great writers and romantic, hidden places. She is a wise and witty guide through the morass."

—Marie Brenner

"The eclecticism of the collection is its real pleasure. . .nutty nuggets of politics, soft-centered personal reflections, melting confections of fantasy. . .meditations on literary themes and tributes to favorite authors."

—The Wall Street Journal

"Jong's work will last with some of the best and most original that this century has produced. She treats her work as a sacred calling...rather than a career move. For this reason she will continue to enrage her contemporaries and she is sure to outlast them."

—Naomi Wolf
