Are Men Necessary?
Are men afraid of smart, successful women? Why did feminism fizzle? Why are so many of today's women freezing their faces and emotions in an orgy of plasticity? Is "having it all" just a cruel hoax?

In this witty and wide-ranging book, Maureen Dowd looks at the state of the sexual union, raising bold questions and examining everything from economics and politics to pop culture and the "why?" of the Y chromosome. These new writings will delight her devoted readers - and anyone trying to sort out the chaos that occurs when sexes collide.

"A blistering critique of modern gender relations." - Salon
"Fun...plenty of style and wit." - Baltimore Sun
"[A] funny, biting, and incisive take on women's place in American society today. Readable, provocative, and entertaining." - Library Journal
