I am truly grateful for the work of Dorothy Greco. Her most recent book, For the Love of Women tackles several areas where misogyny has, and continues to have, great impacts. Trained and having worked as both a journalist and a pastor, she brings a unique perspective to patriarchy and misogyny and how our whole society, men and women included, has suffered from their effects. What I liked most about this particular book was the inclusion of so. many. receipts! As a woman, the phenomena she wrote (and we talked) about were totally familiar to my experiences, but Dorothy didn’t lean on women’s experiences alone, she brought in history and contemporary examples of how misogyny has oppressed women and encouraged male dominance to the detriment of all involved.
