Body hair, especially on women, provokes, disrupts, and, at times,
offends. It is tangled up with culture itself-in art, families,
workplaces, relationships, sex, the beauty industry, governments,
and capitalism. From Chinese activists challenging the Communist
Party, to students in Arizona rejecting their family and workplace
ideas about grooming, to high-art feminist photographers boldly
featuring hairy women, Fahs deftly explores the volatile and
ever-changing landscape of women's body hair politics. She
showcases an underground movement of artists, zine-makers, rebels,
and activists who have used women's visible body hair as a
declaration of freedom from patriarchal norms. Fahs presents body
hair not just as a personal grooming choice but as a connection to
broader cultural stories about women's reproductive rights,
feminist battlegrounds about autonomy, neoliberal intrusions into
beauty regimens, and even global tensions around women's place in
society. Ultimately, Unshaved shows the collision between the
mundane and the extraordinary, the everyday and the revolutionary.
