An outstanding and well-written book.
A fascinating look at the top issues that are at the forefront of the political spectrum. Ms. Perry and Dr. Malveaux have written exceptional analyses of the issues that face women and how to go about getting more involved. I highly recommend this book, extremely thought-provoking and well-versed for both sides of the political platform.

Every woman should read this book
I saw Julianne Malveaux mix it up after the BET Trent Lott interview and I went online to find out about anything she had written. This book is great! She explains why she is liberal, about all the things that have shaped her views, and why the government should play a role to providing a safety net to the disadvantaged. I really admire this woman. She needs her own television show, and to have her work more widely distributed.In my opinion, Deborah Perry is no match for Dr. Malveaux, but she seems to be an interesting woman who presents her point of view intelligently. Their views mesh well on globalization, and their sharpest differences are clear in the chapters on equal pay and on education. I don't see how any thinking woman can agree with Ms. Perry, but I appreciate her willingness to put her views out there.
Three cheers to Julianne Malveaux -- I think that she has initiated a conversation that stretches and expands all of our thinking about women's issues. Cheers, too, to Deborah Perry for going toe to toe with Dr. Malveaux.
Every woman should read this book and share it with her friends. It helped me clarify my views, and it reminded me how important it is to be involved in political work.

Very Superficial
This book had no substance behind. Information was thrown out as fact with no supporting evidence (on both sides), e.g., the wage comparisons -- where did this data come from?, what groups were studied?, etc. I am not sure how Julianne Malveaux got her PhD. Her writing is awful. She has no concept of personal responsibility. I am pro-choice but her argument for it is awful!!!!! Nothing about when a baby can be considered an actual person, etc.. I really am not sure how she got her Ph.D. -- by her accounts it may be through affirmative action but this is the fault with affirmative action -- it makes one question a persons true quilifications. She is a bad example of a liberal. I would consider myself a liberal but Deborah Perry was much more articulate in stating her point of view.
