Doon looks at the stories we are telling and asks: what do these roles we give women tell us about their value in the society we live in? How do we hold our heads up without fear and say no to those that objectify us? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Deranged Mother. The Stupid Tart.

It is, above all, a call to reflect on - and radically rework - the implications such attitudes have for future generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Doon Mackichan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1838856366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781838856366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Canongate Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.30w x 1.10d","brand":"Doon Mackichan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372586258687,"sku":"9781838856366","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e4f1461-8f09-44fa-8925-053b7e5ef197.jpg?v=1732726381","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-lady-parts-doon-mackichan-9781838856366","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
