Woman in the Year 2000
Description:... "'Whatever will become of me?' women everywhere ask. Woman in the Year 2000 offers answers to that question. Although the first steps toward real equality of the sexes have been taken, women are still left with relatively little to guide them to the future. But here come 26 extraordinary writers and thinkers to predict and project what may happen for women--and therefore for men--by the beginning of the next century. As they look into their crystal balls, their visions range from humorous, imaginative fantasies to serious, practical ideas. Gloria Steinem, for instance, looks at the healthy way of child reading in the year 2000; Alvin Toffler reflects of the 'fractured family', which will begin in a test tube; Nora Sayre envisions women's relationships with women in the future working world; Lois Gould dramatizes the consequences of a child without gender; Maggie Tripp writes on the new, free married woman; and, as an 80-year-old former secretary of state, Bella Abzug looks back from the year 2000 on women's creation of a new world, which includes a woman president of the United States. Fresh, lively, informative and entertaining, Woman in the Year 2000 will make you smile--and think."--Pg. [1].
