I have this for my English 300 class and was worried based upon other reviews.  I find the stories entertaining, since each is written by someone different, each are read with different difficulty.  Some of the stories are a bit frustrating but in all, interesting.  I gave 4 stars for having great points and keeping me interested while reading.  The stories are memorable.  -1 star for some of the difficulty in reading.

A good read, I would recommend it to others. Any one can write about a subject, and make it sound good, but only those who actually put into practice what they are writing about can give true insight, and details into the various styles of the many different cultures that practice the this subject. It was nice to see not only the basic concept presented, but the differing points of view, and practices being thoroughly explained, without bias.

Good insights on the art of public speaking. I appreciate Karia's approach and how his insights reformed my approach to speech writing.

Important points, well explained, throws light on so many accepted falsehoods. Just a bit repetitive, could be shortened by half.

Easy reading, good insights, a little woo-woo in spots. Would recommend to anyone over 50. Probably should be read more than once.

Interesting points that made me think. I like the authors wittiness and appreciate that he tells it like it is.

This book mentions a lot of great points. Some things you may know, but there are many good points to learn from as well. And, he covers a lot of things we can all relate to. Not a book covering much technique, but rather the more abstract path on breaking 2000. I say it is worth the read.

A lot of good advice and insight. Definitely highlighted a lot of quotes. I will probably read this again when I need a professional "push."

This is a well-thought-out, concise, and brilliant summary of misogyny though the ages- as well as speculations about what couses it to be so pervasive, and how we might successfully combat it.

It is particularly relevant now, in the fall of 2012, when the Republicans seem to be dedicated to trying to mandate forced pregnancy on ALL women. While the book predates this new focus on denying women agency with their own bodies- it lays out the context for it so it's comprehensible... and if we can understand why it has the power it does, we are closer to effectively combating it.

It was telling that, in the epilogue, he says how he'd tell both men and women that he was writing this book... and the women would be curious about what he'd found out, and the men- the men winked and assumed he was writing a DEFENSE of misogyny. He said, like if one said one were writing a book about racism- people would ASSUME it was a defense of that???

Good endnotes; good bibliography, too.

However, I really appreciated how succinct it is. The data and the arguments are crisp, to the point, and well-chosen, and the text is very readable- even though the topic is uncomfortable at best. This does mean some subtleties are missed- like referring women trying for suffrage as "suffragettes", which is a common but denigrating term, rather like the 70's "women's libbers". ("Suffragists" is more respectful.)

But that's a really minor quibble. I knew most of this stuff... but this is the best concise, informative, and devastating summary that I have ever encountered.

HIGHLY recommended.

Insightful,informative, and more important, practical.

There was a lot of valuable information in the book...and not just the usual comments.  Good advice on helpful projects, and how to do them.  I like that he named names of those "working for conservatives.

Quick, easy, but insightful read. I've had a lot of light bulb moments while reading. Chapters are very short and concise, but definitely worth the read and a book that you can refer to for many years to come. Great addition to the bookshelf.
