Description
In the new collection of essays "About Women," edited by David Rieff and with a preface by Merve Emre, there are works by Susan Sontag written during the period from 1972 to 1975, when an active women’s movement was taking place in the United States.
Sontag’s essays address questions of women’s identity and women’s roles in modern society. They include critical articles, a questionnaire for a magazine, interviews, and discussions with other feminists.
Sontag speaks to different audiences, raising issues of double standards, sexual validity, relationships between women, the connections of the women’s movement with other revolutionary movements, ideals of beauty, the eroticization of fascism, and the diversity of feminist positions.
The collection reflects the early 1970s era and remains relevant today, offering interest not only to historians, but to everyone who is interested in questions of gender equality and the women’s movement.
