Book Synopsis
Modern feminism increasingly benefits only a small class of professional women. There is no reason to sacrifice everyone else''s happiness for their sake.

Mary Harrington shows that women''s liberation was less the result of moral progress than an effect of the material consequences of the Industrial Revolution. We''ve now left the industrial era for the digital age, in which technology is liberating us from natural limits and embodied sex differences. This shift may benefit the elites, but it also makes it easier to commodify women''s bodies, human intimacy, and female reproductive abilities.

Feminism has been captured by well-off white-collar women, who use it to advance their own economic and political interests under the pretense that these are the interests of all women—all the while wielding the term like a club against anyone, male or female, who dissents.
