Abstract

This innovative and wide-ranging book explores the construction of femininity in Western society. Drawing on an extraordinary range of theory, empirical sources and original research, Efrat Tseelon examines the role of the visual - of fashion, the body and personal appearance - in defining the female self. The Masque of Femininity will be essential reading for students and academics in women's studies, cultural studies and social psychology.
