One of the defining feminist texts on the subject of recent sexual politics by the author of the international bestseller, The Beauty Myth.
She argues that the feminist movement has to change if it is to speak to a new generation of women, and that, even as women are gaining more ground than ever before, a wariness of feminist orthodoxies keeps them away from the only movement capable of putting political clout behind their personal success.
In her bestselling book The Beauty Myth, Naomi Wolf sought to change the way in which women see themselves in relation to their bodies. Now she focuses on how they see themselves in relation to power.
She argues that the feminist movement has to change if it is to speak to a new generation of women, and that, even as women are gaining more ground than ever before, a wariness of feminist orthodoxies keeps them away from the only movement capable of putting political clout behind their personal success. The book represents a call to women to throw off centuries of conditioning about the relationship between power and femininity.

It's revolutionary for women to sing the blues, but it's even more so to sing all the songs of life. Naomi Wolf's Fire with Fire has enough energy and honesty on every page to make a unique singer out of the most reluctant, turned off-reader -- Gloria Steinem
