{"product_id":"face-value-robin-lakoff-9781032381497","title":"Face Value: The Politics of Beauty","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1984, \u003ci\u003eFace Value \u003c\/i\u003econfronts the pervasive power of beauty through art and literature, as well as interviews with men and women with varying perspectives on the subject. The topics covered range widely: the history of beauty from the Greeks to the present; the pathology of beauty: how women have been willing to harm themselves, mentally and physically, to achieve 'beauty'; the language we use to speak of beauty, and its implications; our attitudes towards beauty, as examined by psychologists; beauty and ethnic identity; men and beauty. The authors present in fact a redefinition of beauty, enabling both women and men to enjoy it in themselves and in others, while discarding the sex-role stereotypes that have governed the definition of beauty in the past. With a new preface that explores the gaps created by time in the book's discourse, this book will be of interest to students of linguistics, gender studies, women's studies, cultural studies, sociology and anthropology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin Lakoff, Raquel Scherr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032381493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032381497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Robin Lakoff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44302014415103,"sku":"9781032381497","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96d0577a-589d-40d7-8b23-a992a3668a48.jpg?v=1695159020","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/face-value-robin-lakoff-9781032381497","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
