Women are expected to care for those around them while living in a society that despises need and penalizes those who care for the weak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Dignity of Dependence\u003c\/em\u003e aims to liberate women and men from this corrosive and false ideal of the human person as strongest alone. Leah Libresco Sargeant argues that to thrive, human beings need to exist in webs of mutual dependence, not in isolating, radical autonomy. Women's equal dignity doesn't require women to deny biological reality or attempt to be interchangeable with men. Sargeant advocates for building a culture that accepts and celebrates women as they are rather than demanding that women keep their relationships and their bodies in check. The fight for women's dignity is a fight for a full, human dignity--a dignity that isn't threatened by dependence. It is our need for each other that makes us human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeah Libresco Sargeant Sargeant is a writer and speaker whose work covers religion, culture, statistics, and family policy.
