Her 1972 book, Women & Madness, made her something of a feminist celebrity, but it's been mostly downhill for her since, a trajectory about which she's rather bitter. For some reason, Nation Books published her fat tome, Woman's Inhumanity to Woman, in 2001 (blurbed by Kate Millett and Alan Dershowitz). Liza just pointed out that several purist 70s feminists have moved right over the years.
