How can women create a meaningful and joyous life for themselves? Is it enough to be equal with men? In this book, Drucilla Cornell argues that women should transcend the quest for equality and focus on what she shows is a far more radical project: achieving freedom. Cornell takes us on an exploration of what it would mean for women politically, legally, and culturally, if we took this ideal of freedom seriously.
