Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

A witty, fiercely intelligent exploration of why capitalism is rigged against women and what we can do about it.


Unregulated capitalism is bad for women. Socialism, if done properly, leads to economic independence, better labour conditions, better work/family balance and, yes, even better sex.

If you like the idea of such outcomes, then come along for an exploration of how we can change women's lives for the better.

'Funny, angry, urgent. Ghodsee is going to start a revolution' Daisy Buchanan, author of The Sisterhood

Reviews

Wonderful โ€ฆ Kristen Ghodsee doesnโ€™t wear rose-tinted spectacles โ€ฆ but she seeks with great brio and nuance to lay out what some socialist states achieved for women โ€ฆ That Ghodsee also makes this a joyous read is the cherry on the cake Ghodseeโ€™s book could not have been published at a better moment ... There are many reasons to revisit socialist policies in a time of widening inequality, but a feminist perspective offers some of the most powerful incentives Brilliant ... engaging ... Ghodsee is not naive [and] brings the necessary scepticism to her thesis [which] comes into sharp focus when she looks at what happened after the Wall fell ... [a] valuable record of how things were and how they could be Convincing, provocative and useful Capitalismโ€™s triumph is a calamity for most women. Kristen Ghodseeโ€™s incisive book brilliantly reveals their plight This book is funny, angry and urgent โ€“ it's going to make readers think very differently about how they work, and how they live. Ghodsee is going to start a revolution. I'm already making a placard Expand reviews
