Political emotions and their impact on sexual violence according to Martha Nussbaum

This review focuses on Martha Nussbaum's book The Monarchy of Fear, published in 2020. In addition to considering the contributions of this book, the reader is also introduced to another publication by the same author, Citadels of Pride, from 2022. On the one hand, the aim of the review is to point out that the importance of human emotions has been examined by Nussbaum in several of her works, with a view to showing how emotions converge in the public sphere and how they can be part of building fairer societies. On the other hand, it delves into the author's considerations regarding American society as a nation that struggles with sexism and misogyny.
