Dorothy Littell Greco’s For the Love of Women exposes how misogyny corrupts our society--from medical, governmental, and religious institutions to our workplaces, entertainment, and interpersonal relationships--and provides a pathway to healing and reconciliation.
If we hope to fight and eventually heal from misogyny, we must first be able to identify and understand it.
Despite the undeniable progress for women and girls in the 20th and 21st centuries, misogyny is still alive and well in today's culture—often in ways that are more subtle and more insidious than the outright sexism of the past, and in spaces that we overlook or excuse as normative.
Misogyny has shape-shifted through the generations while maintaining a consistent through-line: it blinds individuals and cultures from seeing women as equal image-bearers, fosters hierarchies rather than partnerships, disdains vulnerability, and prevents all of us—women and men alike—from fully thriving.
In For the Love of Women Dorothy Littell Greco draws on in-depth research, interviews, biblical concepts, and vulnerable personal experience to explore how misogyny continues to impact six spheres of contemporary culture:
Healthcare
Government
The workplace
Media and entertainment
The church
Intimate relationships
While recent movements succeeded in raising consciousness and initiating important changes connected to misogynistic practices, alarming trends and rhetoric are on the rise in America today. We still have a lot of work to do—and the battle is more urgent than ever.
Like other deeply rooted, systemic injustices, misogyny is neither morally neutral nor random. It's pernicious and calculated. For the Love of Women is for anyone who wants to educate, inspire, and empower themselves and women collectively to affect real change for everyone's benefit.
