oh, Linerunner, I disagree, I did think The Beauty Myth was good. Certainly, in my teens it made the scales fall from my eyes regarding beauty advertising and marketing.
Fire with Fire was just dire. There was no overarching theme, it was badly written, it was loads of odd anecdotes cobbled together, there was not one memorable or salient point in it. It was very anti-women, in a way, because it just gave the anti-feminist crew a load of fuel to burn: "this is what the nutjob feminists think!" etc. I have a signed copy somewhere. I was delighted to get my hands on it when it was published. Not so much once I had read the thing!
Misconceptions was good in ways, but very naive (yes! natural childbirth without pain relief is not easy! shock! that's why lots of women opt for pain relief! advance prep and meditation are often not enough to ward off the intense pain! who knew!) and very idealistic.
I think the biggest problem with her writing is that she personalises everything. For example, she was pro-choice until she got pregnant and realised that life is a miracle and then suddenly became a bit less pro-choice, based on her own personal experience of pregnancy.
I think she is missing the big issues (issue of consent, pornification of modern life, the imbalance between men's and women's roles; women have made huge inroads into the professional world, ut men have not done the same with regard to homemaking and child rearing, why is that) and this latest book seems to be very esoteric and conservative.
