The Movement's founding ideology emphasises women should be valued for their inner qualities, spirit, and character, not for their physical attributes.Some men continue with unreformed attitudes but many submit - or are sent by their wives and daughters - to the Institute for internment and reeducation. Our narrator, an unapologetic guard at one of these reeducation facilities, describes how the Movement started, the challenges faced, her own personal journey, and what happens when a program fails.

Petra Hulova became an overnight sensation when "All This Belongs to Me "was originally published in Czech in 2002, when the author was just twenty three years old.

All This Belongs to Me" is a sweeping family saga that showcases Hulova's genius.
