From seventeenth-century London to twenty-first century Seoul, Young tells the fascinating, oftentimes tragic, stories of the women who have been celebrated for their looks and scandalized for their actions in equal measure. She explores how the It girls defined and set new standards of beauty   including the red-haired muses of the Pre-Raphaelite artists, the World War II pin-up, the crop-haired icons of the sixties, and the cosmetically-enhanced social media darlings of today   and how, no matter the era, the treatment of these It girls is universal. While they are lauded and emulated, they are also scrutinized and criticized. \u003cbr\u003eThe stories of the It girls are laced with childhood trauma, misogyny, gaslighting, and exploitation, revealing that fame and adoration don't always equate to happiness. \u003ci\u003eThe It Girls \u003c\/i\u003eis a captivating examination of women's history, offering a reevaluation of how women have been celebrated and objectified over the centuries.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46655907135646,"sku":"UBD-9781538186213","price":59.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781538186213.jpg?v=1774836869","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781538186213","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
