DiscussionHas anyone read Sheila Jeffrey's Beauty and Mysogyny?
Sheila is one of my favorite feminist authors if not the one. I see several of her books brought up here but has anyone read the Beauty and Mysogyny? I was introduced to it by following the Korean "tal corset" 4b6t movement, it seems to be one of the most prominent works to the Korean lesbian feminists. Please share your thoughts if you have read it.
I've read it! All real women, no TIMs in sight. I enjoyed the book a lot and generally recommend it. It does feel a little achronistic in terms of how things develop with the nunnery and its development (but I'm no historian, who knows what went down then lol). The POV was compelling, and there was a decent consideration of power, who wields it, and how best to wield it. Very well written. I hope you enjoy it!
You’re making me excited to read it haha. Thank you !
