Unknown Author

4.9/5 (21298 ratings)

Description:With poems from Katie Cowger, Glitch Dewis, Julie G. Fox, Terri Gower, Kath Healing, Marilyn Letts, Lucía M. Polis, and Nancy TakacsWomanhood, as we have been traditionally taught from Vancouver to Vladivostók, is determined by bodily functions and anatomical sex. And so, normative narratives find women bound to childbearing and housekeeping, and to spaces designated for distinctly “feminine” work, play, self-expression, and power. Despite countless challenges from generations of authors, and after nearly two centuries of feminist movements, popular tropes not only continue to reinforce the insurmountable divide—between the brazen men who fight in wars and wear pants and the demure women who keep house and wear dresses—but also influence narratives from queer, transgender, and marginalized voices. In an age when opposition to traditional, normative womanhood can still be seen as revolutionary and dangerous, any attempt to redefine one’s identity that challenges the status quo can become not only a way of tracing the change in our understanding of gender expression and identity but also a matter of necessity and survival.In this book, we invite a diverse group of authors from across Canada and the U.S. to consider the past and present confines of womanhood and then imagine other worlds that might reflect our worlds of domesticity and of myth, worlds where cheap lipstick liberates but high heels bind, worlds of objectification and of bodily presence, worlds where we owe ourselves to others and worlds where we belong to no one, worlds beyond gender and worlds beyond pronouns, and worlds in which a woman is free to make and remake herself. And so, as you, the reader, visit each of these worlds, we also invite you to consider womanhood as a mode of unceasing evolution and becoming.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
