What People are Saying About This
Miles Lord
It's a zinger. Ms. MacKinnon has made a difference before, and this book should further change society.
— Miles Lord, former Chief Judge of the Federal Court for the District of Minnesota
Gerry Spence
I wish to celebrate this book by a peer, a book for reading by men should they wish to keep up with the human race.
— Gerry Spence, author of Trial by Fire
Phyllis Chester
In this book MacKinnon enlarges our understanding of the nature of civil rights as applied to women. MacKinnon's radicalism is thrilling, her determination brilliant, her passion literal. With rigor and irony MacKinnon teaches us what feminism--unmodified by cowardice or by disassociation from other women-is, what it sounds like, and what its goals are. MacKinnon's identification with silenced women is precisely what defines feminism unmodified.
— Phyllis Chester, Ph.D., author of Women and Madness
Derrick Bell
MacKinnon dispatches from her post on the front line of the sexual battlefield searing, sharp communiqués that voice a fierce, relentless, and finally persuasive analysis of how pornography, a perversion of free speech, perpetuates the powerlessness of women.
— Derrick Bell, Harvard Law School
Peter Bogdanovich
Catharine MacKinnon's Feminism Unmodified is a remarkably penetrating, bracingly uncompromising view of what it means to be a woman in our society. Written with extraordinary incisiveness and an acid wit, this is an important book for anyone interested in freedom.
Burke Marshall
Catharine MacKinnon's discourses in Feminism Unmodified are final evidence, if any were needed, that hers is the most powerful mind and forceful voice now at work in this critical area of law. I commend her book most vigorously to many who question as well as those who accept her position.
— Burke Marshall, Yale Law School
Diana E. H. Russell
Feminism Unmodified shows Catharine MacKinnon to be one of the most brilliant, original, thought--provoking, and uncompromising feminist theoreticians and strategists in the contemporary United States.
— Diana E. H. Russell, Department of Sociology, Mills College, and author of Rape and Marriage
