But are high heels good? Are they feminist? What does it mean for a woman (or, for that matter, a man) to choose to wear them?\n\nMeditating on the labyrinthine nature of sexual identity and the performance of gender, High Heel moves from film to fairytale, from foot binding to feminism, and from the golden ratio to glam rock. Summer Brennan considers this most provocative of fashion accessories as a nexus of desire and struggle, sex and society, violence and self expression, setting out to understand what it means to be a woman by walking a few hundred years in her shoes.\n\nObject Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things, published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 150132599X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.150132599X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Brennan, Summer|Schaberg, Christopher|Bogost, Ian\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
