Women's liberation was less the result of human moral progress than an effect of the material consequences of the Industrial Revolution. We've now left the industrial era for the age of AI, biotech, and all-pervasive computing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result, technology is liberating us from natural limits and embodied sex differences. Although this shift benefits a small class of successful professional women, it also makes it easier to commodify women's bodies, human intimacy, and female reproductive abilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a stark warning against a dystopian future whereby poor women become little more than convenient sources of body parts to be harvested and wombs to be rented by the rich. Progress has now stopped benefiting the majority of women, and only a feminism that is sceptical of it can truly defend female interests in the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072218317036,"sku":"9781800752047","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3620563482829.jpg?v=1765086688"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/mary-harrington.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
