'It is the sleight-of-hand of every unjust system to become the
rule, and to make everyone else the exception. In Darkness Now
Visible, Carol Gilligan and David A. J. Richards end the
idea that patriarchy represents everybody, and show that feminism
turns patriarchy into democracy. Once published as prophecy, their
new book becomes a prescription for tearing down Trumpian walls of
gender and race, and seeing each other as unique and equal.' Gloria
Steinem, author of My Life on the Road, Revolution from Within and
Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions and feminist organizer
'Gilligan and Richards have done it again. In their new book they
provide a rich and compelling analysis of how patriarchy is a
sinister force underlying the political and ethical crisis of our
times. A must-read for anyone concerned with the undermining of our
democracy.' Drucilla Cornell, Rutgers University, New Jersey
'Darkness Now Visible takes the reader on a thrilling intellectual
journey into the heart of political darkness to set us on a path
toward enlightenment. The complex analysis is unexpectedly
comforting as it provides language and a framework for
deeply desired change.' Terri Apter, author of Passing
Judgment: Praise and Blame in Everyday Life
