Promiscuities is interesting if viewed as a book detailing one woman's coming of age. However, as a more serious feminist view, it is a poor read. Ms. Wolf claims many adolescent anxieties common to both sexes as uniquely female problems and fails to really dig deeper than the superficial. Her treatment of anecdote as "evidence" is irresponsible and to agree with her conclusions requires a strained point of view. With vague and imprecise writing, this is a sloppy effort. Ms. Wolf can and has done much better and most readers would be better off passing up this title.
