LIVING DOLLS: THE RETURN OF SEXISM
Book ID/图书代码： 07980009B33981
English Summary/英文概要： Empowerment, liberation, choice. Once the watchwords of feminism, these terms have now been co-opted by a society that sells women an airbrushed, highly sexualised and increasingly narrow vision of femininity. While the opportunities available to women may have expanded, the ambitions of many young girls are in reality limited by a culture that sees women’s sexual allure as their only passport to success. At the same time we are encouraged to believe that the inequality we observe all around us is born of innate biological differences rather than social factors. Drawing on a wealth of research and personal interviews, Natasha Walter, author of the groundbreaking THE NEW FEMINISM and one of Britain’s most incisive cultural commentators, gives us a straight-talking, passionate and important book that makes us look afresh at women and girls, at sexism and femininity, today.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 台大高材生為什麼會選擇去當 showgirl?
在60年代之前的男性思想主義社會，女性只能扮演花瓶與傳宗接代的角色。
在 60、70年代「女權」、「解放」、「教育、工作、生育選擇權」等女權運動口號下， 女性開始積極爭取教育機會、經濟獨立，轉而追求兼具知性美的完整自我。
然而，在21世紀的今天，台大高材生為什麼會選擇去當 showgirl?
在現今的社會，女性的工作機會雖然增加了，但仍有許多年輕女孩子還是認為擁有美麗的外表才能帶領她們前往成功之路。是什麼因素造成這個社會現狀?
作者 Natasha Walters汲取了大量的研究成果和個人訪談實記，並以最敏銳的觀察和獨特的角度探討現代社會的價值觀。

Review
“a wonderfully written, fantastically reported book on two specific aspects of the subject.”---The Guardian
“All this is leading towards a plea for feminism to get back on track – to concentrate on equal representation in Parliament, equal pay, more protection from violence, fewer lap-dancing clubs. Like the mothers at the children’s party, she knows what she is looking for and she finds it, but her arguments are well constructed and vividly illustrated. With Walter keeping a watchful eye on developments, it will be fascinating to see which misdirection women take now. No doubt, once again, she will be on hand with another book to steer us back onto the true path.”---The Telegraph
