'It is the sleight-of-hand of every unjust system to become the rule, and to make everyone else the exception. In Darkness Now Visible, Carol Gilligan and David A. J. Richards end the idea that patriarchy represents everybody, and show that feminism turns patriarchy into democracy. Once published as prophecy, their new book becomes a prescription for tearing down Trumpian walls of gender and race, and seeing each other as unique and equal.'
