Discussing the hardships, advantages, and disparities among different genders, Jessie Bernard pens a book on a mission to “discover the female world” (The Washington Post).

Sensitive to conflicts of class, race, and ethnicity as well as to the underlying bonds of gender, The Female World is an exuberant celebration of women’s unique strengths and differences.

Illuminating and powerful, this magnificent and timeless book is to be read, cherished, and argued by readers of all genders.
