In the New York Times Book Review Chloë Schama writes, A plague of women's backs is upon us in the book cover world.
In the New York Times Book Review, Chloë Schama highlights a disturbing trend in book covers that feature images of women's backs, suggesting it symbolizes a broader issue in how women's narratives are presented. This phenomenon raises questions about representation and the way women's voices are often visually diminished or sidelined in literature.
Roxane Gay's collection of essays, "Bad Feminist," engages with these themes, examining feminism and the complexities of identity. The book challenges readers to confront societal expectations and gender stereotypes, ultimately calling for a more nuanced understanding of what it means to be a woman today.
