The beauty myth : how images of beauty are used against women
Buy on Amazon"When I read The Beauty Myth, which was a long time ago by the way because it was published in 93, I was curious about what you made of the biological markers of beauty and how you think that plays into what you described as the Iron Maiden straitjacket placed on women in terms of the ideal of their sexual self-presentation mission."
The beauty myth : how images of beauty are used against women
Buy on Amazon"But I will say that now I think that young men, for instance, like a whole phenomenon that I find fascinating—I might find it fascinating as an older woman who's married to a much younger man—but I find it fascinating that when I was writing The Beauty Myth, older women were considered done reproductively or sexually, and now that’s no longer the case."
The end of America
Buy on Amazon"But I do think if you're looking for unconscious motivations, my work dating from The End of America, in which I was focused on torture and surveillance, and my more recent work in which I recognized how violent and a coercive society can become definitely arose from my experience of being raped as a child and then molested as a young adult because they're on a continuum, and the body responds to these things the way the body responds to torture and to war, and lots of good science has emerged about that."
