Biographie de l'auteur :
Women often behave toward one another in sneaky, underhanded, ruthlessly competitive ways. Catfight is a remarkably researched and insightful foray into the American woman's world of aggression, rivalry, and competition. Tanenbaum draws on real-life examples and the most important studies to date in psychology, human aggression, psychoanalytic theory, and social movements to uncover the pressures that leave women regarding one another as adversaries rather than allies.
Most women highly value female approval and friendship, but the darker side of sisterhood can evoke covertly competitive behavior:
- A career woman quits to become a full-time mom. Although she misses her job and the income, she belittles you, a working mother, as selfishly unconcerned with your children's welfare.
- You're at a party in mid-conversation with your boyfriend when an attractive woman comes over to mingle. You move closer to him, touching him and glaring at her.
- A female colleague "accidentally" misplaces your files and "forgets" to e-mail you about an important upcoming meeting.
What is the state of "sisterhood" today? And how much progress have we really made?
Leora Tanenbaum is the author of Slut! Growing Up Female with a Bad Reputation and a rising young talent of journalism today. She has written for Newsday, Seventeen, Ms., and The Nation, among others, and appears regularly on a variety of national television programs. She lives in New York City with her husband and two children.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Very good. In Catfight, Leora Tanenbaum explores the roots of destructive competitiveness among women. Catfights thrive, she says, because women are conditioned to regard each other as adversaries rather than allies. In virtually every walk of life, women compete with their 'sisters' in a tacit contest over who is the 'better' woman. From diets to dating, from the boardroom to the delivery room - the author describes how women compare their looks, bodies, men, career achievements and competence as mothers. 'Carolyn's rapist was dancing with two women, a smirk on his face, when he spotted her. He pointed in her direction. The women he was with laughed and called over to her, 'Lying bitch.'' Drawing on dozens of interviews and a library of feminist writings, Tanenbaum explores the ways in which women impede, and sometimes sabotage, each other's success and happiness. In revealing the state of play in the US, Catfight also sheds light on an underexamined issue in Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere: how things really work between women. These revelations will surprise men, and will have women nodding their heads in recognition. Competitiveness is a point of concern and possible anguish for many women of varying ages, making this book an important contribution to a discussion of this corrosive interpersonal force. 'In an age when women need each other more than ever, Tanenbaum challenges the notion of 'the sisterhood' with a disturbing and very personal account of the destructive influences at play when women compete.' - Cyndi Tebbel, author of The Body Snatchers: How the media shapes women. 'This is an important and absorbing read for all women, young and old - at school, at home, and in the workplace. Tanenbaum goes beyond how women's bodies, the workplace, the home and motherhood become sites of unhealthy competition and resentment between women. She also explains why this is so, and what actions can be taken to make our societies, workplaces and families more supportive and equitable places for all women.' - Dr Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli, author of Girls' Talk: Young women speak their hearts and minds. 'Catfight is an incisive exploration of a long-taboo subject - how and why women sabotage one another .' - Gail Sheehy, author of New Passages. 282 pages. N° de réf. du vendeur 1448372
