Summary: | "There is a large portion of young women in both US and Mexican university classrooms today who do not self-identify as feminists. Hind makes steps to correct this and draws on poetry, short stories, plays, novels, photographs, personal correspondence, advertising, and interviews to make visible the anti-feminine tendencies in femenism and to imagine a femmenism that will appeal to the next generation of women"--Provided by publisher. "From poetry, short stories, plays, novels, photographs, personal correspondence, advertising, and interviews, Boob Lit. draws on both well-known and nearly forgotten materials to make visible the anti-feminine tendencies in femenism and to imagine a femmenism that might appeal to the startling numbers of young women in US and Mexican university classrooms today who do not self-identify as feminists. Catwoman, the cabrona, the diva-lectual, Barbie, the compulsory asexual, the clothes mind, the Boob, and the "beard" are just some of the swishy responses that Boob Lit. proposes as a response to the metonymic threat* of having boobs. *(Having boobs might make you one.)
