The War Against Women by Marilyn French
A sweeping, polemical analysis that argues women have long been subjected to a deliberate, systemic campaign of oppression rooted in cultural, religious, legal and economic institutions; it traces how myths, medical and legal practices, and social structures legitimize sexual violence, limit reproductive autonomy, and enforce economic dependence. Drawing on historical examples, case studies and contemporary events, the book documents patterns of misogyny from domestic abuse and rape to workplace discrimination and political exclusion, showing these are not isolated problems but coordinated features of patriarchal power. It concludes with a passionate call for feminist solidarity, legal and social reform, and sustained resistance to reclaim women’s rights and bodily autonomy.
