Each chapter takes a different theme - care work, beauty, violence, political organization, sex - and explores it in relation to middle-aged women's beliefs, bodies, histories and choices. Smith traces the attitudes she describes through history, and explores the very specific reasons why this type of misogyny is so very \u003ci\u003enow\u003c\/i\u003e. The result is a book that is absorbing, insightful, witty and bang on time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dutchman-Smith, Victoria","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":48695532192083,"sku":"XV80349726977","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"New","offer_id":44499168952610,"sku":"9780349726977","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/dutchman-smith-victoria-victoria-dutchman-smith-hags-2023-paperback-60219129725267.jpg?v=1732772298","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/hags-the-demonisation-of-middle-ag","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
