More about the book

The book critiques a specific interpretation of kindness that can condition, exploit, shame, and silence women and girls, rather than condemning the values of kindness, empathy, and compassion themselves. It explores how these concepts can be manipulated in ways that negatively impact women's experiences and voices.
