Betty McLellan

Unspeakable (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is a book about speech and the silencing of speech; about who gets to speak and who does not; about who is listened to and who is ignored. In this down-to-earth analysis of the democratic principle of freedom of speech, Betty McLellan insists that, if this prized democratic principle is to have any continuing credibility, free speech must be free for all. Written from the perspective of feminist ethics, Unspeakable focuses on how women are silenced in every nation on earth: through violence, subordination and exclusion. The author's hope is that radical feminism will continue to be a "e;feminism of dissent"e; and that radical, political feminists will continue speaking against the silence.
