Christina Hoff Sommers Quotes

Christina Marie Hoff Sommers was born in Petaluma, California. She is an American author, feminist and former philosophy professor known for her writings about feminism in contemporary American culture. Sommers is known for her criticisms of contemporary feminism, arguing that modern feminist thought often contains an "irrational hostility to men" and possesses an "inability to take seriously the possibility that the sexes are equal but different". Sommers's most notable books are Who Stole Feminism? and The War Against Boys, both of which are critical discussions of contemporary feminism. He earned a BA at New York University in 1971, graduating Phi Beta Kappa. She earned a PhD in philosophy from Brandeis University in 1979.
