In addition to 45 plates, Feminine Persuasion features two essays that place this wide-ranging work in context. Assessing what the ideal body image of the original Kinsey subjects might have been, June Machover Reinisch discusses the ever-changing standards of female beauty, while Jean Robertson, in a survey of the history of feminist art over the past half century, explores the complex dimensions that constitute this work."--BOOK JACKET Notes Catalog of an exhibition in honor of the 50th anniversary of the publication of Sexual behavior in the human female, February 14-March 14, 2003, presented by the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction and the School of Fine Arts Gallery, Indiana University Description based on print version record Subject Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction -- Art collections -- Exhibitions SUBJECT Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction fast Subject Art -- Indiana -- Bloomington -- Exhibitions Gender identity in art -- Exhibitions Sex in art -- Exhibitions Women in art -- Exhibitions Women in art Sex in art Gender identity in art Art museums Art Indiana -- Bloomington Genre/Form Exhibition catalogs Form Electronic book Author Johnson, Catherine, 1958 January 5- Stirratt, Betsy Indiana University, Bloomington.
