How Women Have Betrayed Women</b></i> is a 1994 book about <a href="/wiki/Feminism_in_the_United_States" title="Feminism in the United States">American feminism</a> by <a href="/wiki/Christina_Hoff_Sommers" title="Christina Hoff Sommers">Christina Hoff Sommers</a>, a writer who was at that time a <a href="/wiki/Philosophy" title="Philosophy">philosophy</a> professor at <a href="/wiki/Clark_University" title="Clark University">Clark University</a>. Sommers argues that there is a split between <a href="/wiki/Equity_feminism" title="Equity feminism">equity feminism</a> and what she terms "gender feminism".<sup id="cite_ref-Marshal_p693_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Marshal_p693-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Sommers contends that equity feminists seek equal legal rights for women and men, while gender feminists seek to counteract historical inequalities based on gender. Sommers argues that gender feminists have made false claims about issues such as <a href="/wiki/Anorexia_nervosa" title="Anorexia nervosa">anorexia</a> and domestic battery and exerted a harmful influence on American college campuses. <i>Who Stole Feminism?</i> received wide attention for its attack on American feminism, and it was given highly polarized reviews divided between conservative and liberal commentators.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Some reviewers praised the book, while others found it flawed. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Summary">Summary</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Who_Stole_Feminism%3F&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Summary"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Sommers argues that, "American feminism is currently dominated by a group of women who seek to persuade the public that American women are not the free creatures we think we are." She refers to the ideology of feminists who believe that "our society is best described as a <a href="/wiki/Patriarchy" title="Patriarchy">patriarchy</a>, a 'male hegemony,' a 'sex/gender system' in which the dominant gender works to keep women cowering and submissive", as "gender feminism." She identifies herself with "<a href="/wiki/Equity_feminism" title="Equity feminism">equity feminism</a>," based on belief in fair treatment for everyone. She criticizes feminist authors such as <a href="/wiki/Naomi_Wolf" title="Naomi Wolf">Naomi Wolf</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gloria_Steinem" title="Gloria Steinem">Gloria Steinem</a>, writing that in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Beauty_Myth" title="The Beauty Myth">The Beauty Myth</a></i> (1990), Wolf falsely claims that in the United States 150,000 women die of anorexia each year, a claim repeated by Steinem. According to Sommers, while "most experts are reluctant to give exact figures," the actual figure is likely to be somewhere between 100 and 400 deaths per year. Sommers criticizes <a href="/wiki/Sheila_Kuehl" title="Sheila Kuehl">Sheila Kuehl</a>, <a href="/wiki/Laura_Flanders" title="Laura Flanders">Laura Flanders</a> of <a href="/wiki/Fairness_and_Accuracy_in_Reporting" class="mw-redirect" title="Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting">Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting</a>, and other writers and activists, for helping to popularize the claim that "incidence of domestic battery tended to rise by 40 percent" on <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_Sunday" title="Super Bowl Sunday">Super Bowl Sunday</a>, writing that the claim, widely reported by the American media, was unsupported by any study. Sommers argues that feminists have falsely accused the English legal historian <a href="/wiki/William_Blackstone" title="William Blackstone">William Blackstone</a> of supporting a man's right to beat his wife. She writes that British law has prohibited wife beating since the 1700s, and American law has done the same since before the <a href="/wiki/American_Revolution" title="American Revolution">American Revolution</a>, though the laws were sometimes only "indifferently enforced."<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>According to Sommers, many feminist theorists and researchers have dealt with male critics by calling them "sexist" or "reactionary", and female critics by calling them "traitors" or "collaborators", and that such tactics have "alienated and silenced women and men alike." In her view, gender feminism began to develop in the middle of the 1960s, due to "the antiwar and antigovernment mood" and the influence of thinkers such as <a href="/wiki/Karl_Marx" title="Karl Marx">Karl Marx</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jean-Paul_Sartre" title="Jean-Paul Sartre">Jean-Paul Sartre</a>, <a href="/wiki/Herbert_Marcuse" title="Herbert Marcuse">Herbert Marcuse</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Frantz_Fanon" title="Frantz Fanon">Frantz Fanon</a>. Sommers writes that <a href="/wiki/Kate_Millett" title="Kate Millett">Kate Millett</a>'s <i><a href="/wiki/Sexual_Politics" title="Sexual Politics">Sexual Politics</a></i> (1969) "was critical in moving feminism in this new direction", teaching women that politics is "essentially sexual" and that "even the so-called democracies" are "male hegemonies." Sommers points to philosopher <a href="/wiki/Michel_Foucault" title="Michel Foucault">Michel Foucault</a> and his <i><a href="/wiki/Discipline_and_Punish" title="Discipline and Punish">Discipline and Punish</a></i> (1975) as influences on Wolf and <a href="/wiki/Susan_Faludi" title="Susan Faludi">Susan Faludi</a>, author of <i><a href="/wiki/Backlash:_The_Undeclared_War_Against_American_Women" title="Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women">Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women</a></i> (1991). She argues that Foucault's work is overrated. Discussing the influence of feminists on college campuses, she writes that in many cases feminist "consciousness-raisers are driving out the scholars." She adds that, "The gender feminists have proved very adroit in getting financial support from governmental and private sources" and "hold the keys to many bureaucratic fiefdoms, research centers, women's studies programs, tenure committees, and para-academic organizations. It is now virtually impossible to be appointed to high administrative office in any university system without having passed muster with the gender feminist."<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTESommers1995a18,_23,_33,_229,_230,_232,_273_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESommers1995a18,_23,_33,_229,_230,_232,_273-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Sommers expresses a favorable view of writers like the philosopher <a href="/wiki/Janet_Radcliffe_Richards" title="Janet Radcliffe Richards">Janet Radcliffe Richards</a>, author of <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Sceptical_Feminist&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="The Sceptical Feminist (page does not exist)">The Sceptical Feminist</a></i> (1980), <a href="/wiki/Katie_Roiphe" title="Katie Roiphe">Katie Roiphe</a>, author of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Morning_After_(book)" title="The Morning After (book)">The Morning After</a></i> (1993), whom Sommers defends against criticism from <a href="/wiki/Katha_Pollitt" title="Katha Pollitt">Katha Pollitt</a>, and the critic <a href="/wiki/Camille_Paglia" title="Camille Paglia">Camille Paglia</a>.
