Not only does our dependence on others not disappear into self-sufficient autonomy once we leave childhood behind—only to re-emerge in very old age—but ignoring human interdependence and our lifelong need for care has been part of a massive and destructive public denial that must be resisted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSegal looks at our shared lifelong dependence on care and the well-being of others. In recounting moments from her own life, of motherhood, and being on the front line of second wave feminism, Segal draws upon lessons from more than half a century of engagement in Left feminist politics, with its underlying commitment to building a more egalitarian and nurturing world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe personal and the political combine in this rallying cry to radically transform how we approach education, motherhood, and our everyday vulnerabilities of disability, ageing, and enhanced needs. Finally, Segal insists that only by confronting head on these different forms of interdependence and care can we change the ways we think about the environment and how we must struggle, together, against impending climate catastrophe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849450606828,"sku":"9781804292945","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/10943753482830.jpg?v=1759045818"},{"product_id":"straight-sex-by-lynne-segal-9781781687567","title":"Straight Sex","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs heterosexual sex inherently damaging to women? Is it possible for women to enjoy sensuality and pleasure with men that does not increase male power? Lynne Segal's unflinching examination of feminist thinking on sexuality over the past twenty-five years tackles these questions head on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnly two decades ago, politically aware women often declared themselves both sexual liberationists and feminists—their right to sexual fulfillment symbolised their right to selfhood. However, the most positive women's writing on female sexuality in recent years has come primarily from the lesbian community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSegal addresses the silence of heterosexual feminists on questions of sex and love and notes the shift toward sexual conservatism. She looks at the trends that followed Sixties radicalism: sex as a subversive activity, the \"liberated orgasm,\" sex advice literature, gender uncertainties, Queer politics, antipornography campaigns, and the rise of the moral right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000756257004,"sku":"9781781687567","price":67.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9576293482822.jpg?v=1763302213"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/lynne-segal.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
