A room of one's own
-
by Virginia WoolfCall Number: WOOL

In A Room of One's Own, Virginia Woolf imagines that Shakespeare had a sister. A sister equal to Shakespeare in talent, and equal in genius, but whose legacy is radically different.

If only she had found the means to create, argues Woolf, she would have reached the same heights as her immortal sibling.

The beauty myth
-
by Naomi WolfCall Number: 646.72 WOL
ISBN: 0099861909
This classic redefined our view of the relationship between beauty and female identity. In today's world, women have more power, legal recognition, and professional success than ever before. However, writer and journalist Naomi Wolf is troubled by a different kind of social control, which, may prove just as restrictive as the traditional image of homemaker and wife. It's the beauty myth, an obsession with physical perfection that traps the modern woman in an endless spiral of hope, self-consciousness, and self-hatred as she tries to fulfill society's impossible definition of "the flawless beauty."
