Exploring the aftermath of the Good Friday Agreement, this book delves into the individuals, ideas, and movements that contributed to its creation. It also highlights the resistance to change from various sectors, including the police, military, and secret services, whose historical collusion hindered efforts toward peace. Through this lens, the narrative examines the complexities of reconciliation and the challenges faced in transforming a conflict-ridden society.

Among liberal thinkers, there is an optimistic belief that men and women are on a cultural journey toward equality—in the workplace, on the street, and in the home. But observation and evidence both tell us that in many ways this progress has stopped and in some cases, even reversed.In The End of Equality , renowned feminist Beatrix Campbell argues that even as the patriarchy has lost some of its legitimacy, new inequalities are emerging in our culture. We are living, Campbell writes, in an era of neo-patriarchy in which violence has proliferated; body anxiety and self-hatred have flourished; rape is committed with impunity; sex trafficking thrives, and the struggle for equal pay is at an end. After four decades observing society, Campbell still speaks of the long-sought goal of gender equality. But now she calls for a new revolution.
