      Exploring the concept of choice as a modern form of freedom, the book delves into its historical development and societal implications. It highlights how the abundance of choices can lead to anxiety and overwhelm, particularly affecting marginalized groups. By examining various aspects of life—shopping, religion, romance, and politics—Sophia Rosenfeld emphasizes the constraints that shape who can choose and how. The narrative also reflects on the evolution of feminism and reproductive rights, ultimately advocating for a reevaluation of choice's role within modern liberalism.
