Yet, time and again, their battles have fallen short. Even so-called constitutionally-protected equal rights can be withdrawn by judges and undermined by legislators. But the greater problem is in the notion of equality itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBreaking Free\u003c\/i\u003e, culture writer Marcie Bianco persuasively argues that the very concept of equality is a fallacy, an illusory goal that cannot address historic forms of discrimination and oppression. Starting with the campaign for women's suffrage and traveling through modern history, she shows us how equality has been designed to keep women and disenfranchised communities chasing an unobtainable goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConditioned for generations to want equality, it has become an insidious mindset locking us into the gender binary and reductive identity politics. Bianco calls upon a long-overlooked lineage to argue that only freedom can liberate feminism from these constraints, and proposes three freedom practices for women to reclaim their bodily autonomy and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat happens if we free ourselves of equality? Controversial and thrilling, \u003ci\u003eBreaking Free\u003c\/i\u003e guides readers toward new hope for the future of the feminist movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470192099564,"sku":"9781541702424","price":60.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781541702424-breaking-free.jpg?v=1775213317"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/marcie-bianco.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
