This work is a profoundly insightful investigation into the gendered nature of the state. Iman Bibars shows how this bias distorts not only the delivery of social services but also the response of women. However much women may wish to oppose their oppressive conditions and try to manipulate an oppressive system, they are severely limited in their efforts and strategies for changing their subordination to men. This finding, reached in spite of the author's own commitment to women's equality, is an important corrective to any undue optimism about gender relations and the direction in which they are moving.
