As one of the main players in the second wave of feminism, Sheila Tobias returns to Kate Millet's central tenet, ?sexual politics,? and argues that it can still unite progressive men and women around a common set of goals. Providing a map of a complex terrain, Tobias details ?generations? of issues, each more radical and therefore harder to tackle
