Living a Feminist Life

"This is a thoughtful, nuanced and well-considered book by the UK writer and academic. It goes well beyond polemic and has a literary slant which makes it extremely compelling in its contemplation of what it means, not just to believe in equality, but to live an ethical and principled feminist existence. In particular, it looks at the challenges of doing so within the institutions, organisations and structures of the real world, in which feminists are challenged by inequality, stereotypes, oppression and aggression. At times, it’s a very moving read, as it takes into account the pain of being discrminiated against or misunderstood and weighs the cost of misogyny and marginalisation on women’s lives. This book will become a classic of philosophical feminist thought."
