Some contributors challenge and revise western conceptions of the body as the domain of the biological and 'natural, ' the enemy of reason, typically associated with women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSUSAN BORDO is an internationally known cultural historian, feminist scholar, and media critic. Her first book, \u003ci\u003eThe Flight to Objectivity\u003c\/i\u003e, is considered a classic of feminist philosophy. In 1993, increasingly aware of our culture's preoccupation with weight and body image, she published \u003ci\u003eUnbearable Weight: Feminism, Western Culture, and the Body\u003c\/i\u003e, a book that is still widely read and assigned in classes today. During speaking tours for that book, she encountered many young men who asked, \"What about us?\" The result was \u003ci\u003eThe Male Body: A New Look at Men in Public and in Private\u003c\/i\u003e (1999). Both books were highly praised by reviewers, with \u003ci\u003eUnbearable Weight\u003c\/i\u003e named a 1993 Notable Book by the New York Times and \u003ci\u003eThe Male Body\u003c\/i\u003e featured in Mademoiselle, Elle, Vanity Fair, NPR, and MSNBC. Both books have been translated into many languages, and individual chapters, many of which are considered paradigms of lucid writing, are frequently re-printed in collections and writing textbooks. Her next book, \u003ci\u003eThe Creation of Anne Boleyn: A New Look at England's Most Notorious Queen\u003c\/i\u003e, a controversial, ground-breaking examination of Boleyn's life and how it has been represented in histories, fiction, and film, was published to critical acclaim and popular enthusiasm in April, 2013. For the last four years, she has followed and blogged about the events, personalities and media coverage of the 2016 presidential election; her first book about the many aspects of the election--\u003ci\u003eThe Destruction of Hillary Clinton\u003c\/i\u003e--was published in 2017 by Melville House Press. The paperback was published in 2018 with a new Afterword. Her post-election essays, \u003ci\u003eImagine Bernie Sanders as a Woman\u003c\/i\u003e was published in 2020. She lives in Lexington, Kentucky with her husband, daughter, three dogs, a cat and a cockatiel, and is Professor Emerita at the University of Kentucky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.02 x 9.02 x 6.04 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 1989\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52872456241376,"sku":"9780813513799","price":74.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/5909\/4496\/files\/ZCvgPQJB4P9780813513799.webp?v=1781283615","url":"https:\/\/improvedinc.myshopify.com\/products\/gender-body-knowledge-feminist-reconstructions-of-being-and-knowing-paperback","provider":"Improved Improper Input Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
