Looking at the various guises under which kindness culture is sold to women and girls - from play to self-help, social justice activism to empowerment - Victoria Smith argues that the pressure on women and girls has not decreased, but instead been incorporated into the 'work' of feminism.

Essere una bambina, e poi una donna, vuol dire imparare fin da subito cosa si può fare e cosa non si può fare, vuol dire imparare che certe qualità, come il coraggio, l’audacia e l’indipendenza, non sono prettamente femminili, e che reprimere i propri desideri è normale, e consigliabile. Meglio restare ai margini e attendere passivamente un salvatore o, nella più sfortunata delle ipotesi, la provvidenza.

The Age of Choice tells the long history of the invention of choice as the defining feature of modern freedom. Taking listeners from the seventeenth century to today, Sophia Rosenfeld describes how the early modern world witnessed the simultaneous rise of shopping as an activity and religious freedom as a matter of being able to pick one's convictions. Similarly, she traces the history of choice in romantic life, politics, and the ideals of human rights. Throughout, she pays particular attention to the lives of women, who have frequently been the drivers of this change.
