Beskrivning
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.From Revlon to Glossier, from Marilyn to Gaga, lipstick is as shape-shifting and unwieldy as femininity itself. Who wears lipstick today – as a matter of routine? And for those who do, is it out of obligation to a strict feminine standard, or some other reason entirely? Lipstick reconsiders the beauty world’s most conspicuous – and contentious – tool of artifice. Tossing expired ideas about femininity like so many tubes of melting wax, Lipstick explores how self-adornment can be a source of play, pleasure, and transformation, as well as how lipstick can knock gender norms off balance.

Recensioner i media

Lipstick is a delightful short read that weaves together autobiography, testimony, history, and feminist analysis to celebrate the artificiality of women as a category, subject, and object....G'Sell's history of lipstick's power of reinvention, alongside her account of her own personal reinventions with lipstick's help, is welcome and edifying.
