WHAT SHOULD WE TELL OUR DAUGHTERS?: THE PLEASURES AND PRESSURES OF GROWING UP FEMALE
Book ID/图书代码： 06400011B49196
English Summary/英文概要： WHAT SHOULD WE TELL OUR DAUGHTERS addresses the many pressures that girls and young women face today. Although feminism has made great strides forward since our mothers’ and grandmothers’ day, many of the key issues – equality of pay, equality in the home, representation at senior level in the private, public and political sectors – remain to be tackled. Casual sexism in the media and in everyday life is still rife and our daughters face a host of new difficulties as they are bombarded by images of unrealistically skinny airbrushed supermodels, celebrity role-models who depend on their looks and partners for status, and by competitive social media.
This is a manifesto for every mother who has ever had to comfort a daughter who doesn’t feel ’pretty’, for every young woman who out-performs her male peers professionally and wonders why she is still not taken seriously, and for anyone interested in the world we are making for the next generation. At times polemical and angry, at others entertaining and warm, Melissa always keeps in mind this main question, what should we tell our daughters?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书详述了今天女孩们和年轻女性们所要面临的各种各样的压力。
从古至今，尽管女权主义已经取得了长足的发展,许多关键的问题——男女薪酬的不平等、男女家庭地位的不平等,私营企业、公共部门和政界中女性高层所占的极小比例——仍有待解决。在电视媒体和日常生活中随处可见的性别歧视依然甚嚣尘上。经过电脑处理看上去瘦骨嶙峋的超级名模、依靠美貌和伴侣而搏出位的女明星们以及竞争激烈的娱乐圈等类似新闻经常冲击着她们的大脑，因此，我们的女儿们要面对许许多多的新困惑。
作为母亲，她们可能曾经安慰过对自己长相不满意的女儿们、对于每一位在工作上比男同事出色得多却仍不受老板赏识的年轻女性来说，这本书是一本弥足珍贵的宣言。
时而舌战群儒、义愤填膺,时而风趣幽默、温暖人心，作者MELISSA一直深刻围绕这个主要问题来讨论：我们应该让我们的女儿知道些什么?(Susie)
