Description
A feminist visual manifesto challenges the ways we depict and are taught to see women's bodies. Catherine McCormack explores how archetypal depictions of women in art and popular culture have encouraged objectification and subjugation. This book delves into the context of images of women, revealing the appeal to 'beauty' that has obscured the misogyny of some of the world's most celebrated artists and public figures.
