On Our Best Behaviour by Elise Loehnen
On Our Best Behaviour : Bloomsbury Publishing PLC : 9781526651938 : 1526651939 : 23 May 2023 : 'A stunning, big and bold encyclopedia of how to live' LISA TADDEO 'A guide to liberation and a return to the authentic feminine self' GABOR MATÉ _______________ Why do women equate self-denial with being 'good'? Journalist and podcast host Elise Loehnen explains that these impulses often lauded as distinctly feminine instincts are actually ingrained in us by a culture that reaps the benefits, via an extraordinarily effective collection of social mores: Lust. Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Wrath. Envy. Pride. These so-called 'deadly sins' have been used by the patriarchy to control women throughout our history. For instance, a fear of gluttony drives us to ignore our appetites and an aversion to greed prevents us from negotiating a better salary at work. Provocative and bold, On Our Best Behaviour is a probing analysis of history and contemporary culture that explains how women have internalised the patriarchy, and how they unwittingly reinforce it. _______________ 'Brilliantly reframes our toxic cultural programming' LORI GOTTLIEB 'Half historical docent, half big sister with a hot cup of tea, read this and change your life' TERRENCE REAL
