Despite the existence of constitutionally-protected equal rights, they can be revoked by judges and weakened by legislators. However, the deeper issue lies in the notion of equality itself. In her book, \"Breaking Free,\" culture writer Marcie Bianco compellingly argues that the concept of equality is a fallacy, an illusion that cannot address the historical forms of discrimination and oppression. Bianco takes readers on a journey, beginning with the campaign for women's suffrage and traversing through modern history, to demonstrate how equality has been designed to perpetuate women's and marginalized communities' pursuit of an unattainable goal. Conditioning for generations to desire equality, it has become an insidious mindset that locks us into the gender binary and reductive identity politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBianco challenges the status quo by advocating for a liberation that goes beyond equality. She calls upon a lineage that has been overlooked for far too long, urging women to reclaim their bodily autonomy and power. By freeing themselves from the constraints of equality, Bianco proposes three freedom practices that can empower women to take control of their lives and shape the future of the feminist movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Breaking Free\" is a thought-provoking and controversial book that invites readers to explore new horizons for the feminist movement. It challenges the foundations upon which feminism has been built and offers a fresh perspective on the path forward. Through her compelling arguments and practical recommendations, Bianco provides hope for a future where women can truly thrive and achieve their full potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 548g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 162 x 244 x 31 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781541702424\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marcie Bianco","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44735082987770,"sku":"9781541702424","price":18.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1699030552497_book.jpg?v=1699193712","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/breaking-free-the-lie-of-equality-and-the-new-feminist-fight-9781541702424","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
