In Lean on Me Segal searches for hope in her own life and in the
world around her, and finds it in our intimate commitments to each
other and our shared collective engagements, the two being
intertwined. Issues of care, intimacy, education, alongside
meaningful work, and social engagement, lie at the core of our
ability to understand the world and its possibilities for human
flourishing. Not only does our dependence on others not disappear
into self-sufficient autonomy once we leave childhood behind- only
to re-emerge in very old age -but ignoring human interdependence
and our lifelong need for care has been part of a massive and
destructive public denial that must be resisted. Segal looks at our
shared lifelong dependence on care and the well-being of others. In
recounting from her own life the moments of motherhood, and of
being on the front line of second wave feminism Segal draws upon
lessons from more than half a century of engagement in Left
feminist politics, with its underlying commitment to building a
more egalitarian and nurturing world. The personal and the
political combine in this rallying cry to radically transform how
we approach education, motherhood, and our everyday vulnerabilities
of disability, ageing and enhanced needs. Finally, Segal insists
that only by confronting head on these different forms of
interdependence and care can we change the ways that we think about
the environment and how we must struggle, together, against
impending climate catastrophe.
