In addition to 45 plates, Feminine Persuasion features two essays that place this wide-ranging work in context. Assessing what the ideal body image of the original Kinsey subjects might have been, June Machover Reinisch discusses the ever-changing standards of female beauty, while Jean Robertson, in a survey of the history of feminist art over the past half century, explores the complex dimensions that constitute this work."--BOOK JACKET.
