The article presents information on fashion trends among women. A young woman has published a buzz-heavy book arguing that young women would be happier if they dressed like Hasidim. A woman editor has authored a tome to convince women to give up their careers and proudly bear their husband's name. The attempt to deflect the challenges of liberal feminism while pretending to speak for its "next generation" is exactly the strategy employed by the well-financed conservative stalking horse, the Independent Women's Forum, with whom many of women are associated.
