Excellent- More about After Misogyny: How the Law Fails Women and What to Do about It
In After Misogyny, Julie C. Suk argues that misogyny is embedded in the legal system due to the overempowerment of men and the overentitlement of society to women's unpaid labor and undervalued contributions. She suggests that to address this, constitutional change is needed beyond litigation in the courts, and offers a constitutionalism of care that builds the public infrastructure that women's reproductive work has long made possible for free.

A comprehensive examination of the pervasive issue of systemic misogyny within the legal system, coupled with a thoughtful exploration of the necessary tools to overcome it through constitutional reform, transcending solely litigation in the courts.
Just as racism permeates the legal framework, so does misogyny, despite the law's purported commitment to gender equality and the criminalization of violence against women. In After Misogyny, Julie C. Suk reveals that misogyny stems not from hatred but from the excessive empowerment of men and the societal entitlement to women's unpaid labor and undervalued contributions. This book delves into misogyny devoid of misogynists.
From antidiscrimination laws to abortion bans, the law fails women by obscuring the societal reliance on women's sacrifices. Through a global tour of constitutional change, After Misogyny showcases how to reimagine constitutional democracy. Women worldwide are pushing beyond the antidiscrimination paradigm of American legal feminism and fundamentally recalibrating baseline norms and entitlements. This transformative process, coined by Suk as a constitutionalism of care, establishes the public infrastructure that women's reproductive work has long enabled for free.
