Fifty Shades of Feminism

By Lisa Appignanesi, Rachel Holmes, Sharon Haywood, et al.

Book Overview

Fifty years after the publication of The Feminine Mystique, have women really exchanged purity and maternity to become desiring machines inspired only by variations of sex, shopping and masochism - all coloured a brilliant neuro-pink?

In this volume, fifty women young and old - writers, politicians, actors, scientists, and mothers - reflect on the shades that inspired them and what being a woman means to them today.
