Of Women In The Twenty First Century

Of Women: In the 21st Century is Shami Chakrabarti’s argument that gender injustice remains one of the world’s most pervasive human-rights violations. It examines how inequality affects women’s health, wealth, education, political representation, opportunity, safety, and autonomy across countries and social classes.

Chakrabarti approaches feminism through human rights and global justice, addressing violence against women, reproductive rights, unpaid care work, childcare, sex education, economic inequality, migration, faith, and political power. She argues that meaningful equality requires structural reform, including valuing women’s labour, redistributing wealth, and investing in public services.
