About this listen
A new work by the author of “In Defense of Witches” that seeks to redefine heterosexual relationships and give women back their voice.
As feminist principles have taken wider hold in society, and basic ideas about equality for women can seem a given, many women still struggle in one of the most important areas of life: love. Whether it’s finding a partner, seeking a commitment from one, or struggling in a relationship that is unfulfilling or even potentially abusive, women still find that deeply-engrained notions of gender and behavior can be obstacles to a healthy, loving relationship. In her new book, acclaimed French feminist Mona Chollet tackles some of these long-held and pervasive ideas that remain stumbling blocks for many women in heterosexual relationships.
Drawing from popular culture, politics, and literature, Reinventing Love provides a provocative, accessible look at how heterosexual relationships can improve and evolve under a feminist lens.

Critic Reviews
“In a spirited social critique, French feminist Chollet draws on movies, TV, novels, advertisements, psychoanalysis, and feminist theory to examine impediments to fulfilling experiences of heterosexual love…A vital celebration of loving.”—Kirkus Reviews
"Four years after #Metoo, feminist literature is tackling the crux of the problem: heterosexual relationships. Unease has mounted among feminist heterosexuals, feeling torn at best, traitorous to their cause at worst. Fortunately Mona Chollet is here." —Vogue (France)
