Synopsis "Feminism Against Progress "

Modern feminism increasingly benefits only a small class of professional women. There is no reason to sacrifice everyone else's happiness for their sake. Mary Harrington shows that women's liberation was less the result of moral progress than an effect of the material consequences of the Industrial Revolution. We've now left the industrial era for the digital age, in which technology is liberating us from natural limits and embodied sex differences. This shift may benefit the elites, but it also makes it easier to commodify women's bodies, human intimacy, and female reproductive abilities. "Feminism" has been captured by well-off white-collar women, who use it to advance their own economic and political interests under the pretense that these are the interests of all women--all the while wielding the term like a club against anyone, male or female, who dissents. Feminism against Progress is a stark warning against a dystopian future in which poor women become little more than convenient sources of body parts to be harvested and wombs to be rented by the rich. "Progress" no longer benefits the majority of women, and only a feminism that is skeptical of it can truly defend their interests in the twenty-first century.

Mary Harrington es una escritora, periodista y columnista británica conocida por sus críticas culturales y reflexiones sobre feminismo, sociedad y política contemporánea. Nació en el Reino Unido y se formó en literatura inglesa en la Universidad de Oxford, donde obtuvo un título con honores.

Harrington ha desarrollado su carrera como contributing editor para el medio UnHerd y dirige una columna semanal en Substack llamada Reactionary Feminist, en la que aborda temas culturales, políticos y sociales desde una perspectiva crítica al progresismo actual. Su trabajo también ha sido publicado en medios internacionales como The Spectator, The Times, New Statesman y New York Post.

En 2023 publicó su libro Feminism Against Progress, en el que plantea una lectura alternativa al feminismo moderno, cuestionando la idea de que el avance tecnológico y social ha beneficiado a la mujer de forma universal. En esta obra propone un enfoque crítico al feminismo contemporáneo, argumentando que algunos de sus postulados han tenido efectos contraproducentes para amplios sectores de mujeres y la sociedad en general.

Su estilo combina análisis histórico, filosófico y cultural, enfocándose en cómo la tecnología, la identidad y las políticas sociales influyen en la vida de mujeres y hombres. Aunque ha generado debates y controversias por sus posturas sobre género y roles sociales, Harrington se ha consolidado como una voz influyente dentro de discusiones sobre feminismo y modernidad en el ámbito anglosajón.
