Overview

Nothing Is Free for Women explores the hidden social costs women are trained to pay-often without consent, discussion, or recognition. Across relationships, workplaces, families, and institutions, women learn that safety, affection, access, and opportunity are rarely unconditional.

Some costs are never listed. They are simply expected
