Description
Feminism Against Progress by Mary Harrington is a thought-provoking analysis of the impact of industrial-era progress on women's lives. Harrington argues that the shift from industrial to technological progress has led to a new era of liberation for professional women, but also poses significant risks to the bodies and reproductive rights of poor women. As technology continues to advance, it is liberating us from natural limits and embodied sex differences, but also making it easier to commodify women's bodies and human intimacy. This raises important questions about the future of feminism in the 21st century and the need for a sceptical approach to progress. Harrington's work is a stark warning about the dangers of a dystopian future where poor women are exploited for their bodies and reproductive abilities. This book is a timely and important contribution to the debate about the role of technology and progress in shaping our society.
