DWBC Bristol - June Meet Up

​Introducing our June book! The second installment of Fit for Profit is Laurie Penny's Meat Market: Female Flesh Under Capitalism.

​Here’s what you need to know:

​Pages: 79 Release year: 2012 Country: UK

​Synopsis:

​”Modern culture is obsessed with controlling women's bodies. Our societies are saturated with images of unreal, idealised female beauty whilst real female bodies and the women who inhabit them are alienated from their own personal and political potential. Under modern capitalism, women are both consumers and consumed: Meat Market offers strategies for resisting this gory cycle of consumption, exposing how the trade in female flesh extends into every part of women's political selfhood."

​Location: Hopefully it will be dry and we can enjoy some evening sun in Castle park.
