Foregrounding the body, this remarkable collective work explores
the sexualization of women's bodies, charting the complex interplay
of social, political and cultural forces which produce a normative
"femininity." A series of projects which focus on concrete
instances of sexualization (hair, legs, the slavegirl stereotype,
women's gymnastics) lead to a broader examination of the
relationship between power and sexuality, the social and the
psychological. Placing themselves at the crossroad where feminism
and socialism meet, the contributors move seamlessly between the
autobiographical and the analytical, questioning the diversion
between personal and political, mapping the knot of memory and
desire at the heart of the gendered body. Vitally, these accounts
do not present sexualization as a passive inculcation of social
norms: the individual is presented as taking an active role in the
construction of gendered identities.
