Description
The Anatomical Venus explores how women have been portrayed as 'other' throughout history. Helen Ivory's collection examines various representations of women in art and literature, from idealized figures to those depicted as witches, hysterics, or beautiful corpses.
Through a range of imaginative and thought-provoking poems, Ivory brings to life the lives of women whose stories have been sketched in asylum notes, pictures others shut inside cabinets of curiosity, and even addresses the author of infamous texts like the 'Malleus Maleficarum'.
This collection is a fascinating and unsettling exploration of the ways in which women have been perceived and represented over time.
