Synopsis

The intellectual icon Susan Sontag on equality, female aging, beauty, and sexuality - "A brilliant, dazzling intelligence" (The Times)

What does it mean to be a woman? The new essay volume by Susan Sontag asks exactly this question. For the first time, a book gathers her most important texts on aesthetic, political and economic aspects of womanhood. And "when reading today, you can only be amazed at their genius ahead of their time" (The New Yorker). Sontag writes about equality, female aging, beauty, sexuality and power and shows herself as a thought leader and visionary in the struggle for real equality. "As long as there is no change in who has power and what is power, there is no liberation, but only appeasement," she states. "About Women" fights against any form of appeasement and is more current than ever for any feminist discourse in its observations and demands.
