Now and then a book comes along that changes the way one thinks about the world. Erika Bachiochi’s The Rights of Women is one of these books. It isn’t that her project is revolutionary or cutting-edge; instead, she offers a deeply conservative vision for the rejuvenation of culture. Yet because of its commonsense approach to sex, marriage, and family, this book is unusual. Bachiochi addresses men and women alike, urging them to invest in the soul-making work of marriage, childrearing, and family life.
