Incendiary feminist and bestselling author Clementine Ford presents the inarguable case against marriage for the modern woman. Provocative, controversial and above all, compellingly and persuasively argued.

I want this book to end marriages. But more importantly, I want it to prevent marriages. Women are allowed to aspire to
more than what we've been told we should want in order to be happy. Let yourself have a bigger dream than becoming
the supporting role in someone else's story.
Why, when there is so much evidence of the detrimental, suffocating impact marriage has on women's lives, does the
myth of marital bliss and necessity still prevail? If the feminist project has been so successful, why do so many women still
believe that our value is intrinsically tied to being chosen by a man?
In her most incendiary and controversial book to date, Clementine Fordexposes the lies used to sell marriage to women
keep them in service to men and male power. From the roots of marriage as a form of property transaction to the wedding
industrial complex, Clementine Ford explains how capitalist patriarchal structures need women to believe in marriage in
order to maintain control over women's agency, ambitions and freedom.
I Don't presents an inarguable case against marriage for modern women. With the incisive attention to detail and razor
sharp wit that has characterised her work, Ford examines a broad range of topics, including the patriarchal history of
marriage; the insidious and centuries long marketing campaign pop culture has conducted in marriage's favour; the
illusion of feminist 'choice' in regard to taking men's names; the physical and social cost that comes with motherhood; and
what a different kind of world could look like for women who were allowed to truly be free.
