Klappentext
Women's freedom is in jeopardy. Misogyny is everywhere. Courtship, duty and marriage are dying phenomenons - nails in the coffin to female happiness. Our bodies are an inventory of pain and weakness. Evidently, it is a very bad time to be female.
Or so we're told.
In Good Slut , Zoe Strimpel examines the myths that submerge women in narratives of victimhood and fragility, instead offering a much-needed dose of realism. Because while women's agency is increasingly under threat by the return of 'traditional' values, fuelled by fear-mongering discourse from both the political left and right, it's unequivocally never been a better time to be a woman. It may be complex terrain, yet women's pain, injustices, experiences and achievements are taken more seriously now than ever before. What's more, the opportunities in free societies are endless: whether sexual freedom, bodily autonomy or financial independence, women can, should and will - if they desire - have it all.
Courageous, defiant and incisive in its approach, Good Slut argues that liberation - true liberation - comes not from fear or shame, but from making the most out of the intertwined forces of money, power, and, of course, sex. A fierce celebration of female agency and choice, it is a timely reminder to get back in touch with the joy and freedoms available to us - if only we dare to grasp it.
