Living Dolls - The Return of Sexism (Walter Natasha)(Paperback) - diskuze

Celebrating five decades of the feminist publisher, each of the Five Gold Reads represents an iconic moment in Virago''s history, from the 1970s to today.I once believed that we only had to put in place the conditions for equality for the remnants of old-fashioned sexism in our culture to wither away. I am ready to admit that I was wrong.'' Empowerment, liberation, choice. Once the watchwords of feminism, these terms have now been co-opted by a society that sells women an airbrushed, highly sexualised and increasingly narrow vision of femininity. Drawing on a wealth of research and personal interviews, Living Dolls is a straight-talking, passionate and important book that makes us look afresh at women and girls, at sexism and femininity.''This book marked a real feminist awakening for me . . . it might make you rage, but in a good, important way'' Laura Bates, ELLE ''Required reading for everyone who cares about our humanity, and that means all of us'' Katherine Sheridan, IRISH TIMES''A must-read'' Viv Groskop, GUARDIAN
