Women’s equality with men can’t be premised on their interchangeability with men. That’s the thesis of Leah Libresco Sargeant’s new book The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto. Being fair to both men and women requires us to acknowledge where the sexes differ. And there’s no difference that’s treated as more threatening than women's fertility: her potential to be intimately exposed to the needs of another. A world that makes independence and autonomy its criteria for being fully human endangers the unborn and the elderly – and will always ultimately see women as defective men. What would it mean to place dependence at the heart of what it means to be human? Join Leah Libresco Sargeant on October 2nd in First Things’ offices to discuss all this. Light refreshments will follow the event.
