The revolution to place women on an equal footing with men began before the scope of this book, and will continue long after it is published. But Cochrane's collection of articles is a compelling and lively account of forty years of that constant but gradual fight. In the future, they may well come to be regarded as the most significant decades of the struggle, decades in which women tipped the balance in their favour. For now, ''Women of the Revolution'' is highly recommended reading, even with its Western, liberal bias – regardless of whether you think of yourself as a feminist."
The Bookbag has also reviewed John Brockman's [[What is Your Dangerous Idea? by John Brockman|What is Your Dangerous Idea?]], another collection of thought-provoking and potentially revolutionary articles. For a more feminist-orientated book, try Germaine Greer's [[The Whole Woman by Germain Germaine Greer|The Whole Woman]].
