Scenario

When women's groups avoid examining their real choices

Our women's book club has been reading feminist theory for three years but when we try to apply those ideas to our actual lives — our marriages, our careers, our choices about kids — we end up in these careful, polite conversations where nobody says what they really think and I'm wondering if we're just performing feminism for each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group committed to feminist ideals is discovering they cannot speak honestly about the compromises and contradictions in their actual lives.
