Summary: It's About Time
Review: I felt so relieved reading this. Finally there's a book that expresses my feelings about this "femininity" box I stuffed myself into in years past. It's a shame that women have to be so narrowly defined by shallow attributes. Personally I know for example that my feet won't fit into those pointy high-heeled girlie shoes and that I have much more important things to do with my time than examining myself all over for fashion sense. Femininity is dangerous to your health! The devil with it! Thank you Ms Brownmiller!!!

Summary: About social expectations on women throughout the ages.
Review: Profound in the revolutionary idea of disecting the womans existance...exposing her social expectations, struggles, and unreachable goals. For me, this book helped me see why I am the way I am. How come women are so focused on fashion? Why do we tweeze our eyebrows? It is all because society through the ages has placed this unattainable idea that women must sit this way, look this way, dress that way. When will we stop this insanity of being this thin, or increasingly obsessed with the latest fashions? Femininity holds the answers.
