Beyond Power by Marilyn French
On Women, Men and Morals
A rigorous feminist analysis of how patriarchal power has been built into history, institutions, sexuality, and moral codes, tracing the cultural and psychological mechanisms that legitimize domination and violence against women; it rejects merely reversing hierarchies and instead argues for a fundamental transformation of values and relationships toward empathy, shared responsibility, and equality. Drawing on social, historical, and personal evidence, the book examines family, religion, law, and sexual politics to show how change must involve both structural reforms and ethical remaking of individuals, urging men and women to reconceive power as cooperation rather than control.
