The War Against Boys: How Misguided Feminism Is Harming Our Young Men
By Christina Hoff Sommers
Simon and Schuster, Toronto and New York, 1999, 320 pages, ISBN: 0684849569, $25.00

Review excerpt:

Christina Hoff Sommers, author of Who Stole Feminism? How Women Have Betrayed Women, has written another zinger of a book. Tireless opponent of political dogma and the convenient yet fictitious factoid, she finds another ready target in current educational approaches to boys and in particular the myth of the "incredible vanishing girl".

Reviewer Steven Svoboda is an attorney who has refocused his life around men's issues. Christina Hoff Sommers is a resident scholar at AEI.
