Breaking the last feminist taboo--once and for all. Even as toweringly successful women from Gloria Steinem to Beyonc? embrace the word "feminism," the word "ambition," for many, remains loaded with ambivalence. Women who are naturally driven and goal-oriented shy away from it. They?re loath to see themselves?or be seen by others?as aggressive or, worst of all, as a bitch. Double Bind could not come at a more urgent time, a necessary collection that explodes this conflict, examining the concept of female ambition from every angle in essays full of insight, wisdom, humor, and rage.
