Drawing on twelve powerful stories of women around the world - their hopes, dramas, disappointments, tragedies, intimacies and successes - this book explains how the myths of toxic femininity trap women into trying to live up to impossible standards of perfection, not for their well-being but to fit into male-dominated narratives. Rooted in centuries of patriarchal power, toxic femininity pressures women to conform to limiting ideals, leaving them at risk of being overwhelmed by shame, depression, self-doubt and helplessness. As these stories reveal, toxic femininity can affect any woman - shaping her identity and reducing her agency. Yet these women's stories also offer hope, showing the path to an agentic independent femininity and self-love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Van Thanh Binh,Stephen Whitehead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1837919410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781837919413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Acorn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d","brand":"Van Thanh Binh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47305682223359,"sku":"9781837919413","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b27fda1d-6d19-45a2-96eb-13ac36336a85.jpg?v=1758831529","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-myths-of-toxic-femininity-van-thanh-binh-9781837919413","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
