The book examines the complexities of achieving justice in multicultural democracies, focusing on the balance between accommodating cultural minorities and ensuring gender equality. Sarah Song argues for the necessity of special accommodations while highlighting gender equality as a crucial limit. Through case studies on issues like cultural defenses in law and polygamy, she reveals how majority institutions can perpetuate gender inequality in minority communities. Song advocates for intercultural democratic dialogue as a means to resolve these gendered cultural conflicts.
