Petra Hulova: Bevægelsen
About the book:
The Movement founding ideology emphasizes that women should be valued for their inner qualities, spirit, and character, and not for their physical attributes. Men have been forbidden to be attracted to women on the basis of their bodies. Some continue with unreformed attitudes, but many submit or are sent by their wives and daughters to the Institute for internment and reeducation. However, the Movement also struggles with women and their old attitudes, with many still undergoing illegal cosmetic surgeries and wearing makeup. For more information, please, see here.
Starting points for discussion:
--> the novel as a means of exploration of (not only) feminism,
--> the Nature of the Limits of the Reshaping of Human/Male/Female Sexuality.
