Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Feminists Say the Darndest Things A Politically Incorrect Professor Confronts Womyn on Campus
by
Mike Adams
Flatpik
, April 07, 2011
Delightful and hilarious (this book would make a wonderful gift for your favorite college freshman!). Professor Adams's letters to various campus feminist "gender warriors" are always pleasant, articulate and courteous. By asking straight forward questions (which spineless school administrators should, but don't), Adam's spotlights the arrogance, hypocrisy, belligerence and deranged behavior for which the Femi-Nazis are famous. Feminists thugs will hate it - what more do you need to know?

Who Stole Feminism?: How Women Have Betrayed Women
by
Christina Hoff Sommers
Flatpik
, February 15, 2007
I remember when the Women’s Liberation movement transformed itself to Feminism. A rose by any other name, right? Not even close. Women’s Lib was a continuation of the humanist and idealistic tradition that demanded equal rights and opportunity for all people under law. Fair-minded people, men and women, vigorously worked together to support these worthy goals. Laws were changed, doors opened and today, more women than men attend college at every level. Then a new generation took over and brought with it a starkly different set of values and goals. For the new feminists, equality of opportunity has been replaced by power for women by any means. Humanism and fair play for all have supplanted by obsession with victimhood and hatred of all things male. Not surprisingly, as of 1999, fewer than 20% of U.S. women considered themselves feminists. If you haven’t been paying attention to the deeds and statements of the new feminists, you should. To her credit, Christina Hoff Sommers has paid close attention and has braved the vitriolic backlash of this radical minority to write Who Stole Feminism. Sommers exposes the phony statistics created by “feminist researchers” used to obtain lucrative grants, attack free speech and “transform” school curricula. She describes the strong-arm tactics employed to create a climate of fear the workplace and intimidate university professors and administrators to abandon intellectual integrity in favor of PC indoctrination. Sunlight is the best antiseptic and the feminists are extremely unhappy with this book. Buy it and you’ll know why.
