She considers the contributions of the first female MPs, as well as activists including the Greenham peace protesters and the black and Asian women's groups of the 1970s and 1980s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer goal? To show how successive generations have fiercely contested what it means to be a woman, and why this matters. Biology on its own is not destiny. But this book argues that differences between male and female bodies have always been feminist issues. While gender is a useful concept, women cannot be supported by a politics that forgets that they, like men, are sexed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susanna Rustin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509559116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509559114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Susanna Rustin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45898526621951,"sku":"9781509559114","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f58f09a4-73f1-4e88-8f01-1a4e6303d410.jpg?v=1721376516","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sexed-susanna-rustin-9781509559114","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
