Esther Vilar (1935- ), 89, was (at the age of 36) the authoress of the remarkable book The Manipulated Man (1971). It has just been republished (and made available again through Amazon) under the title The Tamed Man.
I sought for many years to contact Esther with a view to her appearing at an ICMI, without success. Janice Fiamengo would like to interview her, if she’s willing, writing:
“She is still alive, I believe. I would love to interview her if she is still capable. She saw more clearly than anyone what was happening–a remarkable woman, a true danger to feminism. She deserves to be far more widely known.”
I would ask anyone who has contact details for Esther to send her this blog piece, and if she’s willing to be interviewed by Janice, to email me (mike@j4mb.org.uk). Thank you.
