重塑女體

內(nèi)容概要

美容手術顧名思義是為了美容而做的手術,但同時也是一種很危險的手術,可能反而破相,或危害健康的後遺癥,惹來一身病痛,甚至失去生命.
這種手術的顧客百分之九十是女人,因此,女性主義者提到美容手術,總是皺緊眉頭,既氣憤美貌體制對女人的壓迫,也恨姊妹同胞們不爭氣. 而這正是女性主義者的兩難: 女性主義應該要同情並理解女人,但在美容手術的議題上,似乎很難不去譴責同流合污的女人. 對此,作者的選擇是,先放下心裡的那把尺,傾聽女人本身的說法.
透過本書,你將聽到女人自己的聲音,深入他們的經(jīng)驗,體會他們本身的兩難. 此外,作者在正文與註釋中也提供了許多資料,指出美容手術的副作用和危險,尤其是爭議最多的矽膠隆乳. 你將得到一個更完整的圖像,關於美容手術的善惡和兩難,而不只是聽到一個女性主義者義正嚴詞的譴責或說教
