Description
Book SynopsisChallenges conventional and feminist ideas about beauty by asking us to take pleasure in beauty without shame, and to see and feel the erotic in everyday life. This book shows us how to move beyond society's equation of youth with beauty toward an aesthetic for the fully erotic human being. It develops ideas about erotic, beauty, and older women.
