did anyone specifically say that she was an anti-feminist? i don't recall this. in fact i don't think i would say this since what constitutes feminism is ill-defined, contested, and rather unstable.

I read The Morning After expecting to come to the

well, wendy, why don't you defend her? best place to start if you ask me. stake a claim and defend it rather than simply asserting it. what was good about her book, what were her claims and why was she accurate in your estimation? if it's not anti-feminist --and i don't think this is the claim--then what makes it feminist or contributing to and strengthening feminism? or is there some third position which is neither/nor? on that note, what is feminism?
