Who Am I When Nobody’s Looking?
Publisher: Ten Have
A different perspective on beauty and ageing
Who Am I When Nobody’s Looking? is a book about the role beauty plays in the lives of women over 40. One of the things women of this age often say is that men start looking at them less and less. The disappearance of the male gaze opens new doors and shatters old concepts. It creates room for fresh, surprising perspectives but it also causes feelings of sadness and loss. Liesbeth Woertman reflects on the fiction of the self and the role of the female body in later stages of life.
