Smith tiffany watt (287 risultati)

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. A smart and thought-provoking memoir, history, and cultural critique about the turmoil and complexity of female friendship Our culture today is inundated with narratives about the strength of female friendship, whether through images of girl power, BFFs, or work wives. Yet cultural historian Tiffany Watt Smith has always found her own life much messier. She has had dramatic friend breakups, friendships that felt like too much or not enough, friendships that drifted into silence, and friendships built on convenience rather than a meeting of minds. And there are older cultural scripts to contend with: the competitive rival, the jealous backstabber, the underminer, the fair-weather friend. We have all been bad friends. It's impossible to be a perfect one; as Watt Smith points out, women's friendships have long been magnified, scrutinized, praised, and admonished, creating a legacy of impossible ideals. In Bad Friend, Watt Smith reflects on her own experience and thoroughly mines the rich cultural history of female friendship to look for a new paradigm that might encompass the struggles along with the joy.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 'A blueprint for how to sustain friendships.' GUARDIAN'Thought-provoking, open-hearted.' FINANCIAL TIMES'A brilliant ode to the necessity and complexity of female friendship.' SPECTATOR'A generous, timely book.' OBSERVER'Will leave you moved, hopeful and inspired in equal measure.' DAISY HAY'I urge you to read it.' SUZANNAH LIPSCOMBA rebellious new history of female friendship and timely reclamation of the 'bad friend'.Move over idealised BFFs, glossy gal pals and indestructible work wives. Meet the bad friends. The dangerously romantic school girls of the 1900s. The office gossips of the 1930s. The mum cliques of the 1950s. The angry activists of the 1970s. The coven - women who choose to live together in old age - of the present day. These 'bad' friends broke the rules about femininity they didn't write. Their relationships were controlled, patrolled and judged too intimate, too consuming and in some cases, too powerful.In this history of women's friendship, celebrated cultural historian Tiffany Watt Smith reckons with the ways we understand this complex and vital connection. She takes us from Japan to the Ivory Coast, The Mindy Project to Zadie Smith's Swing Time, from prisons to film sets to hospital wards and elder communities, untangling the assumptions about good and bad friends we live by. Weaving together history, interviews and memoir, Bad Friend offers what's long overdue: a more expansive, more rebellious vision of friendship fit for twenty-first-century life. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

SUZANNAH LIPSCOMBFor as long as women have had friends, they've got us drunk, spilled our secrets, bailed on plans and meddled where we wished they wouldn't. They've also held back our hair, sat with us while we cried and made us feel altogether invincible. Maybe none of us is perfect.
