Today the only acceptable places for a woman to have hair are on her head (preferably long), her eyebrows (not too wild) and eyelashes (not too sparse). All kinds of cosmetics are sold to achieve the desired effect of localized luxuriance. At the same time, the industry of removing hair everywhere else on the body advances relentlessly. Hair is no longer a sign of joy but a battleground of cosmetic surgery. In this short book, the Catalan writer Bel Olid draws on personal experience to dismantle preconceived ideas about the supposed benefits of waxing and shaving, and to lay bare the social penalties that are meted out to any woman who allows their body hair to grow. With clarity and courage, Bel Olid exposes the contradictions and hidden costs of hair removal, and issues a rousing call to women everywhere to set themselves free from the urge to please everyone else and to focus, instead, on what pleases them.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 188mmItem Length: 125mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 90gGenre: Society & CultureSubtitle: Breaking the Vicious Circle of Hair Removal, Submission and Self-hatredAuthor: Bel OlidTranslator: Laura McGloughlinContributor: Laura McGloughlin (Translated by)Release Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
