Citadels of Pride

“Nussbaum is a clear and compelling thinker whose work on the law has always been refreshing and bracing…” – Madhavi Menon - Times Literary Supplement“Martha C. Nussbaum brings unflinching clarity and wisdom to illuminate shame and pride, the operations of power and retribution surrounding sexual violence and intimidation. Nussbaum’s distinctive fusion of law and philosophy exposes failures of recent reforms and points toward constructive future paths.” – Martha Minow, former dean of Harvard Law School“On many levels, those interested in justice-seeking law reform in the area of sexual assault and harassment can look to this book for inspiration. Nussbaum has a rare ability to articulate genuine compassion in connection with complex ethical situations, and to spell out what that compassion requires. She writes with crystalline style.” – Aidan Johnson - Globe and Mail“In Citadels of Pride , Martha C. Nussbaum shines a light on long-standing and deep-rooted issues of sexual harassment and assault that continue to plague big-time sports and lays out a provocative plan for controlling institutions to become leaders in effecting change. Not everyone will agree with her recommendations, but this book should be mandatory reading for anyone who cares deeply about the need for reform.” – Adam Silver, commissioner of the National Basketball Association
