About the book
From the critically acclaimed, highly influential author of Slut! comes this meticulously researched investigation into the roots of female competitiveness. Showing this unforgiving, destructive behaviour to be an outgrowth of several different forms of historical sexism, Tanenbaum systematically demythologises the age-old catfight, and reveals two major examples from history where women have successfully worked together for social and legal change: suffrage and sports.
