Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Reprint. Bitch is a brilliant tract on the history of manipulative female behaviour, from biblical times through to trophy brides, political wives and dazzling depressives. In five powerful extended essays, the author links the lives of women as demanding and disparate as Syliva Plath, Hillary Clinton, and Nicole Brown Simpson. Wurtzel gives voice to those women whose lives have been misunderstood, who have been dismissed for their beauty, their madness, their youth. She finds in the story of Amy Fisher the tragic plight of all Lolitas. She connects Margaux Hemingway's tragic suicide to those of Edie Sedgwick and Marilyn Monroe, women whose beauty was an end, ultimately, in itself. Wurtzel takes to task the double standard imposed on women, the cultural insistence on goodness and society's complete obsession with badness: what's a girl to do. This book tells a tale both celebratory and cautionary. Whether writing about Courtney Love, Sally Hemings, Delilah, Sharon Stone or Princess Diana, Wurtzel's bitchography cuts to the core. In prose both blistering and brilliant, Bitch is the most searing feminist critique of contemporary gender relations to appear in the 1990s. Tiny mark to edge of page. Seller Inventory # 020972
