Description
Elise Loehnen's provocative manifesto explores what it means for women to be 'good' and how these impulses are ingrained in us by a patriarchal culture. By examining the ancient rules that women unwittingly follow, she reveals an enlightening path towards a more balanced and fulfilled way to live.
Loehnen argues that these impulses - such as showing restraint, being selfless or proving oneself in a male-dominated workplace - are rooted in a system that reaps benefits from our attempts to conform. By stopping these attempts, we can break free from this toxic cultural programming and discover a more authentic way of living.
On Our Best Behaviour is a bold and compelling guide to liberation and the return to the authentic feminine self. With astute analysis and radical insights, Loehnen reframes our understanding of what it means to be 'good' and how we can live a life that is truly fulfilling.
