Summary: "'Getting there' traces the rocky, uneven, often controversial course of women's movement toward reality of gender equaility. The women included in this volume - the doctors, lawyers, journalists, historians, poets, anthropologists - examine the cultural myths that for decades have defined the roles of American women and perpetuated the fact of their inequality. They investigate the issues of rape, abortion, pornography, child custody, health care, and sexual harrassment . . . Among the women included . . . are Dolores Alexander, Susan Brownmiller, Cythia Enloe, Kathleen Gerson, Arlie Hochschild, Carolyn G. Heilbrun, Patricia Ireland, Ellen Lewin, Kristin Luker, Robin Morgan, Katha Pollitt, and Ruth Sidel." -- from book cover.
