Description: One Dimensional Woman by Nina Power Deals with the apparent abdication of those systematic political thought on the part of positive, up-beat feminists. This title suggests alternative ways of thinking about transformations in work, sexuality and culture that, while seemingly far-fetched in the ideological climate, may provide more serious material for future feminism. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Where have all the interesting women gone? If the contemporary portrayal of womankind were to be believed, contemporary female achievement would culminate in the ownership of expensive handbags, a vibrator, a job, a flat and a man. Of course, no one has to believe the TV shows, the magazines and adverts, and many dont. But how has it come to this? Did the desires of twentieth-century womens liberation achieve their fulfilment in the shoppers paradise of naughty self-pampering, playboy bunny pendants and bikini waxes? That the height of supposed female emancipation coincides so perfectly with consumerism is a miserable index of a politically desolate time. Much contemporary feminism, particularly in its American formulation, doesnt seem too concerned about this coincidence. This short book is partly an attack on the apparent abdication of any systematic political thought on the part of todays positive, up-beat feminists. It suggests alternative ways of thinking about transformations in work, sexuality and culture that, while seemingly far-fetched in the current ideological climate, may provide more serious material for future feminism.
