Mona Chollet / Susan Emanuel
overview
A new work by the author of In Defense of Witches that seeks to redefine heterosexual relationships and give women back their voice
As feminist principles have taken wider hold in society, and basic ideas about equality for women can seem a given, many women still struggle in one of the most important areas of life: love. Whether it’s finding a partner, seeking a commitment from one, or struggling in a relationship that is unfulfilling or even potentially abusive, women still find that deeply ingrained notions of gender and behavior can be obstacles to a healthy, loving relationship.
French feminist Mona Chollet tackles some of these long-held and pervasive ideas that remain stumbling blocks for many women in heterosexual relationships. Drawing from popular culture, politics, and literature, Reinventing Love provides a provocative, accessible look, through a feminist lens, at how heterosexual relationships can improve and evolve.
