ON WOMEN - SUSAN SONTAG KARTONIERT (TB)

'A brilliant  glittering intelligence' Sunday Times    On Women brings together Susan Sontag's
most fearless and incisive writing on women  a crucial aspect of her work that has not until
now received the attention it deserves   Written during the height of second-wave feminism 
Sontag's essays remain strikingly relevant to our contemporary conversations. At times
powerfully in sync and at others powerfully at odds with them  they are always
characteristically original in their examinations of the 'biological division of labour'  the
double-standard for ageing and the dynamics of women's power and powerlessness.  As Merve Emre
writes in her introduction  On Women offers us 'the spectacle of a ferocious intellect setting
itself to the task at hand: to articulate the politics and aesthetics of being a woman in the
United States  the Americas and the world.'   'Boldly provocative' iNews    'On Women
demonstrates a powerful mind and equally forceful personality' The Herald
