Using examples from the Middle to Far East, including Iran, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, Japan, and China, this anthology challenges the fascination with Eastern women as passive, abject, or sexually exotic, but also resists the temptation to then focus on the veil, geisha, sati, or Muslim women's oppression without exploring Eastern women's sexuality beyond these contexts. The chapters cover instead mind/body sexual politics, patriarchal cultural constructs, the anatomy of sex and power in relation to myth and culture, denigration of female anatomy, and gender performativity. From Persepolis to Bollywood, and from fairy tales to crime fiction, the contributors to Unveiling Desire show how the struggle for women's liberation is truly global. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Middle Eastern$2bisacsh 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General$2bisacsh 606 $aPERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / History & Criticism$2bisacsh 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Women's Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aSymbolism$zOrient 606 $aFemmes fatale$zOrient 606 $aWomen$xSexual behavior$zOrient 610 $aEastern. 610 $adamsel in distress. 610 $adamsel. 610 $afemale. 610 $afeminism. 610 $afeminist. 610 $agender. 610 $ahelpless. 610 $apatriarchy. 610 $asocial construct. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Middle Eastern. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General. 615 7$aPERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / History & Criticism. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Women's Studies. 615 0$aSymbolism 615 0$aFemmes fatale 615 0$aWomen$xSexual behavior 676 $a306.7082095 686 $aSOC028000$aPER004030$aLIT008000$aLIT004220$2bisacsh 701 $aAzim$b Firdous$0168997 701 $aBenedetti$b Lavinia$01740372 701 $aBetty$b Louis$01740373 701 $aBiswas$b Chandrani$01740374 701 $aChakravarty$b Radha$01740375 701 $aChanana$b Kuhu Sharma$01740376 701 $aDas$b Devaleena$01740377 701 $aDey$b Naina$01740378 701 $aEl-Saadawi$b Nawal$01058451 701 $aGangar$b Amrit$01740379 701 $aHalder$b Paramita$01740380 701 $aJussawalla$b Feroza$01740381 701 $aKhan$b Hafiza Nilofar$01740382 701 $aKuribayashi$b Tomoko$01740383 701 $aMalhotra$b Meenakshi$01740384 701 $aMorrow$b Colette$01740385 702 $aDas$b Devaleena$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt. 702 $aMorrow$b Colette$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910861072903321 996 $aUnveiling Desire$94166037 997 $aUNINA
