Offen, Karen. Defining Feminism: A Comparative Historical Approach. Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, 14, 1: 1988, pg 119. Offen, in her book, has very successfully and clearly laid out the history of feminism and its overall impact. Her own analyses, though, of the philosophy of feminism are of the utmost interest as she incorporates the phenomenon of dualism, individualism and relationalism into the feminist school of thought. Even though, it does come across as biased at times, the views presented are fresh and new, unlike the very common good/bad aspects of feminism that are generally written about.

Walter Block. Levin on Feminism and Freedom. The journal of libertarian studies. X, 1: 1991, pg 97-8. Block, in his assessment of the work presented by Professor Levin agrees that the views presented are somewhat bold and does recommend the book for those readers who have inkling towards how feminism has disrupted the concept of human autonomy. However, he seems to disagree with Levin on numerous topics that have come across too chauvinistic and against women liberty.
