krishnendu 's review for:
Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism: And Other Arguments for Economic Independence
by Kristen R. Ghodsee
reflective
medium-paced
Capitalism made a slave of a man, and then by paying women through him, made her his slave, she became the slave of a slave, which is the worst sort of slavery. - Bernard Shaw
A discourse on how capitalism is inherently rigged against women, and the socialist alternatives that could improve our lives - in work, motherhood, leadership, sex, and citizenship.
With discussions on left-leaning economic systems and policies absent throughout my education in economics, this challenged the (indoctrinated) notion the socialist past was all gulags and secret police, but also how women had better economic and political lives than their capitalist counterparts, and how they earned, worked, procreated, and mothered with less precarity more often than not. Given the current trajectory of the USA, this book feels more urgent than ever.
