Chimene Suleyman: The Chain, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In January 2017, Chimene Suleyman was on her way to an abortion clinic in Queens, New York with her boyfriend, the father of her nascent child. It was the last day they would spend together. In an extraordinary sequence of events, Chimene was to discover the truth of her boyfriend's life: that she and many other women had been subtly, poisonously and patiently betrayed.

In this remarkable memoir, she explores how women are duped every day by individuals, but also how society itself allows this to happen. She demonstrates that, no matter how intelligent, educated or self-aware they might be, over time a woman can be played into performing the age-old role of giver and nurturer: self-sacrificing and subordinate.

THE CHAIN is a personal exposé of one man's control over many women, an exploration of the trauma he left behind, and the sisterhood that formed in his wake despite - and in spite - of him.
