A really interesting and extensively researched look at the philosophical roots of misogyny. This book is dense and technical but thinking of it as an academic text, the chapters reinforce the main messages again and again so I feel like I grasped her main thesis, that misogyny is not born out of dehumanization as much as it is born from entitlement to women's caregiving and attention. I plan to return to this book often; it's a wealth of further reading and materials to look into! Overall, I recommend for those interested.
