Fire with Fire: The New Female Power and How it Will Change the 21st Century by Naomi Wolf
One of the defining feminist texts on the subject of recent sexual politics by the author of the international bestseller, The Beauty Myth
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.
