Description

A powerful, urgent and timely polemic on why women still need equality, and how we get thereIt is the greatest human rights abuse on the planet.

It blights first and developing worlds, rich and poor women's health, wealth, education, representation, opportunity and security everywhere.

It is no exaggeration to describe it as an 'apartheid', but not limited to one country or historical period.

Gender injustice, Shami Chakrabarti shows, is an ancient and continuing wrong that is millennial in duration and global in reach. As we move forward in the twenty-first century, a time of crises the world over, Shami Chakrabarti lays out the huge challenges we face with honesty and clarity.

We have not yet done enough to create a more equal world: one where women and men share power, responsibility and opportunity.

One that is potentially happier and more peaceful. One where no life is wasted, and everyone has a chance to fulfil their potential. Instead, we've been playing around at the edges. What's needed now is radical change. From the disparity in the number of births to issues of schooling, work, ownership, faith, political representation and international diplomacy, Of Women outlines what needs fixing and makes clear, inspiring proposals about what we do next, putting women's rights at the centre of the progressive political agenda.
