Product Description:
Catharine A. MacKinnon, noted feminist and legal scholar, explores and develops her original theories and practical proposals on sexual politics and law. These discourses, originally delivered as speeches, have been brilliantly woven into a book that retains all the spontaneity and accessibility of a live presentation. MacKinnon offers a unique retrospective on the law of sexual harassment, which she designed and has worked for a decade to establish, and a prospectus on the law of pornography, which she proposes to change in the next ten years. Authentic in voice, sweeping in scope, startling in clarity, urgent, never compromised and often visionary, these discourses advance a new theory of sex inequality and imagine new possibilities for social change.
Through these engaged works on issues such as rape, abortion, athletics, sexual harassment, and pornography, MacKinnon seeks feminism on its own terms, unconstrained by the limits of prior traditions. She argues that viewing gender as a matter of sameness and difference--as virtually all existing theory and law have done--covers up the reality of gender, which is a system of social hierarchy, an imposed inequality of power. She reveals a political system of male dominance and female subordination that sexualizes power for men and powerlessness for women. She analyzes the failure of organized feminism, particularly legal feminism, to alter this condition, exposing the way male supremacy gives women a survival stake in the system that destroys them.

- A Rosetta of Social Constructivist Radical Feminism
This eloquent book is a collection of insightful orations given by Ms. MacKinnon during the eighties with in their aggregation is a powerful text on social constructivist Radical Feminism and class analysis. Ms. MacKinnon's approaches provide needed shifts in paradigms away from patriarchy. Gender is understood in terms of the the only meaning it can have in this society: Dominance of one class over another. She provide incredible distinctions and indepth discussions on issues such as Full and Formal ... Read More

- Thought provoking
How much you appreciate this book depends on what you want to get out of it. It is accessible to a non-academic reader, and although I disagree with her thesis, the speeches are well-argued. She basically thinks that gender *is* domination, and attempts to show that the meaning of woman-ness is in subjection. I think that if you care about feminism, you must at least understand this radical claim. She has definately made me rethink some of my kneejerk assumptions, which after all is the whole point.

- Hateful Polemics
One of my law professors was a disciple of McKinnon's and recommended this book to me. After reading it I can only conclude that the author seems to be suffering from some serious unresolved conflicts.
McKinnon represents a radical, and in my opinion, unacceptable view of feminism. There are better authors in this field such as Steinem, who presents a more balanced and substantially less radical viewpoint. McKinnon is to feminism as Louis Farrakhan is to Afro culture.
Rating: - Brilliant and Passionate, Thought Provoking and Easy Reading
Feminism Unmodified Discourses on Life and Law captures what it is to be an uncompromising and at times defeated radical feminist in the latter 20th century in America. Feminism Unmodified is a compilation of speeches that McKinnon delivered during the 1980's - at a time when "feminism" was fighting with "fuck" for status of the "F-word". The speeches are easy to read, really - to hear, and the arguments are clear and concise. My favorite sound bite: Rape is not illegal, it's regulated.- How True. She ... Read More
