Can We Achieve Gender Equality
Kevin Cunningham
About this book
“The idea of women moving through the world as freely as men should sell itself,” Roxane Gay said. That is not the case. Women lag behind men when it comes to freedom, money, respect, and education. Can We Achieve Gender Equality? delves into the ways philosophy explores a woman’s place in the world. Men have controlled women in countless ways. But from voting rights to #MeToo, women have persisted in their quest to change traditions and remake their own lives. Can We Achieve Gender Equality? takes readers into the bold history of women’s thought and encourages them to answer one of philosophy’s thorniest questions.
Censorship history
In 2024, "Can We Achieve Gender Equality?" by Kevin Cunningham faced bans at the school level in various districts across the United States, primarily due to its LGBTQ+ and political content. Notably, in some districts, parents and local advocacy groups raised formal complaints during school board meetings, leading to votes that resulted in the book's removal from libraries and curricula. The bans reflect ongoing debates over educational content related to gender and sexuality, with some districts still contesting the decisions in court.
