Families are the fundamental units of society, and families—mothers in particular, who are connected physically with new life and handed babies the moment they are born—are really what govern the private sphere. Yet this isn’t a story Kimberly Ells has heard fully told elsewhere, as she explains in her new book “The Invincible Family.”
Today, the fight for political power encompasses every issue, so it’s not surprising that those set on accumulating power have turned their attention toward taking it from the private realm, Ells says. What did surprise Ells was when she learned about the movement for “children’s sexual rights” and its influential base of global supporters.
