Beyond the Double Bind

Beyond the Double Bind traces how women have overcome a series of double binds - Catch 22's - which would seem to block them from success no matter what they do. Jamieson explores double binds such as uterus/brain, feminity/competence, equality/difference, and shows how women in all walks of life have moved beyond these traps and restrictions. She delivers a rousing and empathetic denouncement of victim feminism and illustrates how women have steadily advanced in our society.
