My Body, Isn't It a Woman's Body? Femininity and Ideals of Beauty
- conference

"Am I not a woman", asks bell hooks in her eponymous book, in response to the focus of certain feminist movements on white women, translating the elevation of a certain type of woman to the status of ideal femininity: bourgeois, heterosexual, white, thin, not too muscular, young, and able-bodied.
The reduction of women to their bodies and societal pressure to conform to aesthetic standards trap them in an eternal struggle against themselves and thus contribute to confining them to private issues. Women's liberation therefore also involves the liberation of bodies.
With this aperitif talk, we especially invite you to free speech, by listening to and exchanging with our guests about the ways they perceive their bodies in the face of completely normal circumstances, which nevertheless place them outside of these societal injunctions.
