Sumario:"This illustrated book showcases five centuries of visual interpretations of female sexuality collected by The Kinsey Institute, and also includes work by contemporary artists Ghada Amer, Patty Chang, Renee Cox, Nancy Davidson, Nicole Eisenman, and Laura Letinsky. In addition to 45 plates, Feminine Persuasion features two essays that place this wide-ranging work in context. Assessing what the ideal body image of the original Kinsey subjects might have been, June Machover Reinisch discusses the ever-changing standards of female beauty, while Jean Robertson, in a survey of the history of feminist art over the past half century, explores the complex dimensions that constitute this work."--BOOK JACKET.
