Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine - Bright pages. 373 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Annotation With all the insight and passion she brought to her controversial bestseller The Beauty Myth, Naomi Wolf proposes a bold, revitalized brand of feminimism--one that exhorts women to move from "victim feminism" to "power feminism." A New York Times Notable Book. From the Publisher Most women embrace equality, but reject "feminism." In clear and brilliant prose, the author of the best-selling The Beauty Myth shows how this rift came about, and how to close it. A practical and inspiring road map for personal and political equality in our time. From The Critics Publishers Weekly Feminist author of the bestselling The Beauty Myth , Wolf has written an empowering, impassioned manifesto that points the way toward a flexible feminism for the 1990s and beyond. Part political analysis, part psychological manual, part activist handbook, the book argues that women should renounce ``victim feminism,'' which casts them as sexually pure, fragile, beleaguered creatures whose problems are all the fault of men. As an alternative, Wolf outlines an anti-dogmatic ``power feminism'' which sees women as no better and no worse than men, celebrates female sexuality and encourages women to claim their individual voices through a variety of tactics. These include ``resource groups'' for sharing contacts and increasing access to information and services; consumer campaigns; and pressure on the media to alter their portrayals of women. Wolf theorizes that little girls, as much as boys, have fantasies of absolute dominion but learn to repress their ``will to power'' at a very early age. Wolf here sketches a psychological road map designed to help women deal with their ambivalence about success, power, equality and money.

Wolf, Naomi Promiscuities The Secret Struggle for Womanhood
New York, NY, U.S.A. Random House, Incorporated 1997 067941603x / 9780679416036 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine
Promiscuities follows a group of adolescent girls as they gradually become aware of themselves as sexual beings and discover what our culture tells them being female means. Drawing on her own experiences as well those of her contemporaries, Naomi Wolf reveals the secrets of our coming of age: the sexual games, forbidden crushes, losses of virginity, and rites of initiation. She also uncompromisingly examines the darker territories of abortion, the influences of the sex industry, and sexual violence that underlie contemporary girl's struggle for womanhood. By bringing into light our relationship to the "shadow slut" that conditions our sexual development, Promiscuities explores how the sexual experiences of the adolescent years determine women's sense of their own value as adults, and envisions how we could better guide girls through the "normatively shocking" landscape they now inhabit. Finally, Wolf looks at the popular culture of the recent past, as well as at the history and mythology of female desire, to show how our "liberated" culture still fears and distorts female passion. Bold and candid, funny and revelatory, Wolf's stories illustrate the fear and excitement, the fantasies and sometimes crippling realities, that make up a young contemporary woman's journey of erotic and emotional discovery.

Wolf, Naomi Promiscuities: The Secret Struggle for Womanhood
Random House of Canada 1997 0679308539 / 9780679308539 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. Number line: 98765432. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $29.95. 287 pages. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Synopsis: "It's time for heterosexual women to come out of the closet and reclaim their sexuality. There are no good girls, we are all bad girls in the best sense of the word." -- Naomi Wolf As she yanked the shroud off the shoddy construction of beauty standards in The Beauty Myth, Naomi Wolf reveals the history and transmutation of our many notions of female sexuality. In this landmark work, Wolf examines the formative powers of pop culture, mythology, and scientific research as she argues not only for the liberation of female sexuality but for a deeper understanding of the nature of female desires. The sexuality of young girls seems to belong to everyone but themselves. Their bodies are strewn throughout our cities selling jeans along the sides of buses and languishing on billboards high above our streets. The male sexual coming-of-age has been told often, but aside from these images of erotica, there is no such bildungsroman for young, developing girls to identify with. Wolf alerts readers to the scripted but undirected "struggle" undertaken by girls as they develop into womanhood, and how these early experiences affect women's sense of self-worth as adults. Along with her own sexual experiences, Wolf's argument is bolstered by the stories of a group of adolescent girls as they become aware of their sexuality in a culture with a tendency to subvert female passion. Wolf succeeds in encouraging female passion out of the closet and invites women to take back their sexuality in a celebration of womanhood.
