...years ago, that internecine friction was challenged by Gloria Steinem in Revolution from Within and especially by Susan Faludi in Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women. You might call Naomi Wolf, whose Fire with Fire (Random House; $21) has just been published, a colonist of the territory that Steinem and Faludi staked out. Their message was that women were being fed cynical lampoons of feminists and not-so-subtle suggestions that liberation was responsible for any feelings they had of frustration or of "superwoman" tension.

With her rancorous condemnation of writers like Gloria Steinem and Naomi Wolf, Paglia vaulted from the mossy groves of academia to the glossy pages of Vanity Fair.

...controversy continues to swirl around him, most recently concerning his tumultuous personal life. With his wife Geri and their two teenagers still based at the family home in Northern California, Eszterhas typically has shuttled from hotel room to interview to fax machine, firing off bulletins about his romance with Naomi Macdonald and about William Macdonald's with Stone. Last week the two new odd couples found themselves at a somewhat intense 10-foot distance of each other during Sliver's post-premiere party in Los Angeles...
