jay k. ❤︎ liked bookishthingswedo's status update
bookishthingswedo
bookishthingswedo is on page 85 of 472 of The House with the Golden Door: Fulvia says “� a well born girl should be curved like Venus…slaves are thin�
It’s no mystery that a fuller curvier figure was desirable during this time however what I find interesting is the fact that ‘thinness� is a sign of oppression, whereas in modern society it can be mistaken for ‘self care� or even wealth yet in reality it is always and always will be a way of oppressing women

by Maira Kalman

what an ignorant response. if an author’s views are stated in the book (especially if it’s a nonfiction) then inevitably they will inform my rating? no book exists in a vacuum, much less an autobiographical one. besides, even ignoring her political views, i did mention at the very beginning that i found her philosophical musings and observations surface level and lacking substance. at any rate, i don’t need to justify my rating of a book lol; i had my experience with it and you have yours. also we don’t know each other so i’m not sure why some random person’s review would even bother you in the first place. ]]> ReadingNotesCollectionPlaceholder4315557 Wed, 23 Apr 2025 19:30:19 -0700 <![CDATA[#<ReadingNotesCollectionPlaceholder:0x00005555927d5568>]]>
