Items related to Living Dolls: The Return of Sexism
Empowerment, liberation, choice. Once the watchwords of feminism, these terms have now been co-opted by a society that sells women an airbrushed, highly sexualised and increasingly narrow vision of femininity. While the opportunities available to women may have expanded, the ambitions of many young girls are in reality limited by a culture that sees women's sexual allure as their only passport to success. At the same time we are encouraged to believe that the inequality we observe all around us is born of innate biological differences rather than social factors.
Drawing on a wealth of research and personal interviews, Natasha Walter, author of the groundbreaking THE NEW FEMINISM and one of Britain's most incisive cultural commentators, gives us a straight-talking, passionate and important book that makes us look afresh at women and girls, at sexism and femininity, today.

Review:
If anyone doubts the need to protect girls from the toxic, hyper-sexualised, disempowering environment they're now growing up in, they should read LIVING DOLLS (Maggie Hamilton, author of WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR GIRLS?)
This book marked a real feminist awakening for me . . . it might make you rage, but in a good, important way (Laura Bates Elle)
** 'In LIVING DOLLS, Walter makes a compelling case that we need feminism more than ever...this book makes a disturbing, passionate and compelling case for revisiting our notions of equality...Everyone who cares anything about the kind of society we are curre (Sunday Business Post)
** 'Walter does a brilliant job of demolishing their (scientists') arguments (Mail on Sunday, Susie Orbach)
** 'Required reading for everyone who cares about our humanity, and that means all of us (Katherine Sheridan, Irish Times)
