Looking at the subject in contemporary art practice, and reflected in contemporary society today, Dana Leslie succinctly describes how it is to be a woman from a millenial perspective. From the feminist art movement of the 1970s, many female artists turned to performance art to explore and critique the gender role prescribed to women as 'housewife'. Today, the beauty myth of self-maintenance is particularly pertinent in the era of Instagram and plastic surgery. The book offers a fascinating view of the past 50 years, examining what progress - if any - has been made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 27, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47457700610301,"sku":"9798842639489","price":23.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/ZXRWY1hGRUxMbFhCWlQvZXJlY2o4UT09.webp?v=1777242838","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/performing-feminism-self-maintenance-in-contemporary-art-and-society-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
