A fantastically important and thoughtful book about how sexual assault and sexual harassment play out in the fields of law, the arts, and sports. Her arguments are at once logical and shocking. I highly recommend this book and suspect many feminists will use it as both inspiration and playbook.

I can't wait to bring attention to this book when I get to see my volunteer group at the local domestic violence and sexual assault crisis center. They love books like this that can help them and survivors learn more. I thought this addressed the problems with sexual abuse and sexual harassments in all arenas was eye-opening.

Martha Nussbaum offers an insightful and passionately written condemnation of our culture of toxic masculinity. Her examination of the 'citadels' of law, arts, and sports, illustrate the pervasive nature of the problem in the fabric of our society. Identifying the fragile male ego at the heart of much of the gender based violence and discrimination is a direct and necessary shot across the bows of critics who attempt to extricate male behaviors from the experience of gendered violence and discrimination. I think this text works particularly well alongside Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's "We Should All Be Feminists"
