Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism And Other Arguments for Economic Independence
Kristen R.
University of Pennsylvania professor and author of seven books Kristen Ghodsee explains why the triumph of capitalism in the first and second world countries has not been an option for most women. She masterfully debunks persistent myths that in a free market, women have more opportunities to achieve career heights and economic independence, inner balance and personal happiness. Using many examples, Kristen Ghodsee shows how, by discriminating against women, capitalism deprives them of everything - from physical pleasures to intellectual self-realization - and uses those who are already at the top of the economic pyramid in the interests of prosperity. Despite the collapse and ideological discrediting of socialism in the countries of Eastern Europe, Ghodsi is convinced that many elements of the socialist economy are capable of providing a woman with conditions for development and full-fledged work, a healthy distribution of forces between work and family, and ultimately harmonious and rich sexual relations.
