|summary=A story of a slow revolution, without being revolutionary itself. Though hardcore feminists might find it a bit tame, Kira Cochrane's collection of essays and articles is suitable for most readers (male or female, confirmed feminist or otherwise).

Some revolutions happen faster than others, and the revolution in society's thinking about women is certainly one of the more gradual ones. Kira Cochrane, Women's Editor at the ''Guardian'' from 2006 – 2010, has collected together the best articles and essays from that paper's women's section since 1971. The result, ''Women of the Revolution: Forty Years of Feminism'', is a lively account of the more recent women's liberation movement in the UK and of the issues facing women in a modern, late twentieth/early twenty-first century society.

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 Germaine Greer|The Whole Woman]].
