Big Sister exposes the ideology of radical feminists—backed by extensive research and shocking true examples. In Big Sister’s new world, a man creates a hostile work environment with a photo of his bikini-clad wife on his desk. A father is found guilty after his adult daughter claims sexual abuse as a child, without a shred of evidence to back up her “recovered memory.” A woman may murder her husband and call it self-defense under the banner of Battered Women's Syndrome, even if she was in no imminent danger. Big Sister is a considered and provocative look at how extremists have led us astray and how we might achieve true gender equality.
