By: Christina Mancuso Sep. 05, 2014
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ In a September 2nd Fox News interview, Politichicks host Morgan Brittany stated that feminists had created a stigma that makes women ashamed to stay at home with their children. Shannon Drury says, BULL****.
Inspired by her award-winning blog of the same name, Drury's book The Radical Housewife: Redefining Family Values for the 21st Century proves that feminism isn't the threat to "family values" that conservative pundits might thinkin fact, it's the ideal framework for raising children in an increasingly complex world.
Through vivid tales of street action, political campaigns (both Michele Bachmann and Al Franken make appearances), school curriculum debates, SWAT officers, flame wars, ultrasounds, white-liberal guilt, feminists with no interest in children, moms with no interest in politics, and gay marriage, The Radical Housewife depicts the struggle of one woman to understand herself and her role as a well-educated woman who chooses, for a variety of reasons, to stay home and raise her children.
"A mixture of unflinching honesty and snarky humor, this book serves as an important reminder that mothers are an integral part of the feminist movement, despite not always being recognized as such." Avital Norman Nathman, editor of The Good Mother Myth
