Why did it have to take this long? In \u003ci\u003eAgainst Women\u003c\/i\u003e Abram de Swaan presents a survey of the systematic terror and intimidation that kept women from realizing their full potential. Following a clear-eyed inventory of the violence patriarchy inflicts at every stage of a woman\u0026amp;rsquo;s life, the book details the recent, awe-inspiring efforts by which women have emancipated themselves, their spectacular advancements in the last century, and the fierce resistance that progress has provoked, especially among right-wing extremists and fundamentalist believers, whatever their creed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAgainst Women\u003c\/i\u003e documents the hardening consensus among ultra-orthodox believers of all faiths and secular radicals on the extreme right\u0026amp;mdash;however intensely they oppose one another in every other respect\u0026amp;mdash;that women should remain homemakers, mothers, and wives, subordinate to male supremacist \u0026amp;ldquo;morality.\u0026amp;rdquo; But however formidable this countermovement, de Swaan\u0026amp;rsquo;s book reminds us, the myth of female incompetence has been undone once and for all\u0026amp;mdash;and there is no going back.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback","offer_id":49725428662499,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780262056922","price":280.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780262056922.jpg?v=1789255783","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh\/products\/against-women-the-worldwide-resistance-to-emancipation","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
