The Age of Choice tells the long history of the invention of choice as the defining feature of modern freedom. Taking listeners from the seventeenth century to today, Sophia Rosenfeld describes how the early modern world witnessed the simultaneous rise of shopping as an activity and religious freedom as a matter of being able to pick one's convictions. Similarly, she traces the history of choice in romantic life, politics, and the ideals of human rights. Throughout, she pays particular attention to the lives of women, who have frequently been the drivers of this change.

These questions make us believe that we should settle for less, when in fact we all deserve more.

Breasts, clitoris, hymen, and womb. Across history, these body parts have told women who they are and what they should do. Although knowledge of each part has changed through time, none of them tells a simple story. The way they work and in some cases even their existence have been debated. They can be seen as powerful or as disgusting, as relevant only to reproduction or as sources of sexual pleasure. Historian Helen King explores the symbiotic relationship between religion and medicine and their twinned history of gatekeeping over these key organs that have been used to define “woman.”

Manu said that a woman’s dharma is to be mother, daughter, sister and wife in service of men, regardless of the caste. In modern times we call this patriarchy. In the Veda, the need to control and favour hierarchy, is an expression of an anxious mind. Hindu, Buddhist and Jain lore is full of tales where women do not let men define their dharma. In modern times we call this feminism. In the Veda, the acceptance of a woman's choice is an expression of a wise and secure mind.

UNA SCRITTRICE FEMMINISTA DEI NOSTRI GIORNI CI MOSTRA, ANCORA UNA VOLTA, LA FORZA IMMORTALE DELLA LETTERATURA, LA SUA CAPACITÀ DI PORTARE CORAGGIO E LIBERTÀ. Essere una bambina, e poi una donna, vuol dire imparare fin da subito cosa si può fare e cosa non si può fare, vuol dire imparare che certe qualità, come il coraggio, l’audacia e l’indipendenza, non sono prettamente femminili, e che reprimere i propri desideri è normale, e consigliabile. Meglio restare ai margini e attendere passivamente un salvatore o, nella più sfortunata delle ipotesi, la provvidenza.

Cuando en la escuela se valora hasta el infinito que el padre de los críos vaya a la reunión, pero se da por supuesto que las madres irán: metralleta. Cuando me echan del trabajo porque estoy embarazada: metralleta. Cuando me dicen que no me exalte, que no es para tanto: metralleta.
