“Women are not regarded as simply human. They are expected to be giving humans.”
It is still taken for granted that women owe their attention and care to others - children, men, and the community.

"This book is a wonderful basis for discussion and a meticulous summary of the most important scientific findings, a breakdown of the problem." Ö1
