“The best introduction by far to representation of the human figure in art. The Nude is a beautifully written work of sophisticated connoisseurship that analyzes art in its own terms rather than imposing strident, politicized categories on it. It outlines the major body types, male and female, in Western art and, via a wealth of illustrations, trains the reader's eye to detect and evaluate proportion. This book reveres art” HumansArtBookBodyEyeTermWealthWrittenFiguresTypeReaderMajorsFemaleTrainWesternMalesProportionCategoriesSophisticatedRepresentationIntroductionEvaluateOutlinesImposingIllustrationBody Types Author:Camille Paglia
“The men who espoused unpopular causes may have been considered misguided, but they were rarely attacked for their morals or their masculinity. Women who did the same thing were apt to be denounced as harlots or condemned for being unfeminine - an all-purpose word that was used to describe almost any category of female behavior of which men disapproved.” MenMayHas BeensUsedPurposeCausesWomenMoralHe ManBehaviorFemaleSexismCategoriesMasculinityMisguidedHarlots Author:Margaret Truman Daniel
“The sad thing about our society is that women are put in one of two categories. You're either in the beautiful category and you're seen as sexy and beautiful, or some version of that, or you're put into another category... The latter category affords women the opportunity to be smart, funny, independent, mean, strong, intelligent and opinionated. We take them seriously as politicians, if they fit into that latter category. We respect their opinions more and give them higher expectations. That latter category is what allows female actors to be characters.” IfsGivingMeanTwoCharacterBeautifulActorsOpportunityStrongOpinionHigherPoliticianFitSmartExpectationsFemaleIntelligentIndependentSexyVersionsLatterOur SocietyCategoriesBeing SmartOpinionatedSad Things Author:Amber Heard

“We're trained to see only male or female and to plot people into those categories when they actually don't fit neatly at all. But if we pause, watch and listen closely we'll see the multiplicity of ways in which people are sexed and gendered. There exists a range of personal identifications around woman, man, in-between-we don't even have names or pronouns that reflect that in between place but people certainly live in it.” PeopleIfsMenWayNamesWatchesFitFemaleMalesSexualityRangePlotCategoriesPausesIdentificationMultiplicityPronouns Author:Minnie Bruce Pratt
