| Over the past 150 years gynaecologists, child psychologists, paediatricians, sociologists, psycho-analysts, home economists, and others have gradually replaced women's skill, thus to become the sole experts. Although well-intentioned, some have not been for the women's good, as this book shows. Thus women today, wishing to avoid this, are struggling to define their own identities. The authors reveal the past and discuss new perspectives, including the meaning of female liberation. |
