Description
"Mineke Schipper analyzes similarities, differences, and contradictions in the cultural norms about gender expressed in thousands of proverbs she has found from over 150 countries. Grouping the sayings into such categories as the female body, love, sex, childbirth, and female power, she finds shared patterns in ideas about women (and how men see them). Part cross cultural study, part literary criticism, and part anthology, her book is a unique and intriguing resource to dip into again and again."--Jacket.
