Citadels of Pride: Sexual Abuse, Accountability, and Reconciliation

The Citadels of Pride by Martha C.

Nussbaum is a groundbreaking exploration into sexual violence, shedding light on the root causes of this pervasive problem.

Through a philosophical and practical reckoning, Nussbaum exposes three "Citadels of Pride" where men hoard power and perpetuate systemic abuse in the judiciary, arts, and sports.

This book offers a damning indictment of the culture of male power that insulates high-profile abusers from accountability, but also provides a hopeful way forward through survivors mobilizing to tell their stories and institutions pursuing fair and nuanced reform.

By reading this book, you will gain a deeper understanding of the distorted emotions that breed abuse and why anger and vengeance rarely achieve lasting change.

The Citadels of Pride is an essential read for anyone seeking to comprehend the complexities of sexual violence and work towards creating a more just and equitable society.
