Reconsiders the dominant Western understandings of freedom through the lens of women's real-life experiences of domestic violence, welfare, and Islamic veiling. This book argues that the typical approach to freedom found in political philosophy reduces the concept's complexity, which is more revealed by taking such practical issues into account.
