Susan Osborn: She's Such a Liar, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A daring critique of Western patriarchy and its control of women's bodies.

For centuries, incest has been framed as a private, shameful family matter-but it is also a systemic crime and a social injustice, with deep cultural, institutional, and political roots.

In this shrewd and provocative manifesto, Susan Osborn examines the ordinary social, medical, and legal systems that allow incest to remain hidden and unaddressed. She's Such a Liar offers a rigorous, accessible feminist analysis of the forces that silence women, obscure accountability, and normalize disbelief.

By situating incest within broader systems of power and knowledge production, Osborn exposes why this pervasive-and often unspoken-form of sexual violence remains so difficult to confront.
