About the book
The Politics of Reality is a collection of nine essays on feminist theory by the philosopher Marilyn Frye. Working from questions of knowledge and morality, she sets out to name the forces that shape women's lives and to show how they operate on women as a group and as individuals. The opening essays present oppression as a structure of interlocking barriers, using the image of a bird cage, and treat sexism as one specific form of it. Later essays take up anger, arrogance and love, separatism, race, and lesbian feminism.
