Excellent- More about Something Out of Place: Women & Disgust
In her debut book, Eimear McBride examines the contradictory forces of disgust and objectification that control and shame women, exploring how this prejudicial messaging has played out in the past and still surrounds us today. She asks how we can give our daughters and sons the unbounded futures we want for them and suggests that our gift for juggling contradiction may help us find a way forward in this moment of global crisis.
