But are high heels good? Are they feminist? What does it mean for a woman (or, for that matter, a man) to choose to wear them?\u003cbr\u003eMeditating on the labyrinthine nature of sexual identity and the performance of gender, \u003ci\u003eHigh Heel\u003c\/i\u003e moves from film to fairytale, from foot binding to feminism, and from the golden ratio to glam rock. Summer Brennan considers this most provocative of fashion accessories as a nexus of desire and struggle, sex and society, violence and self expression, setting out to understand what it means to be a woman by walking a few hundred years in her shoes.\u003cbr\u003eObject Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46619420229790,"sku":"UBD-9781501325991","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781501325991.jpg?v=1773899088","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781501325991","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
