Beschreibung:
Sheila Jeffreys is Professor in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne, where she teaches sexual politics and international feminist politics. Before coming to Melbourne in 1991, she was active in the Women's Liberation Movement in the UK from 1973, campaigning against pornography and violence against women, and in lesbian feminist politics. In Australia she is involved in the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women. She has written nine books on the history and politics of sexuality.
The new edition of Beauty and Misogyny revisits and updates Sheila Jeffreys' uncompromising critique of Western beauty practice and the industries and ideologies behind it.
