Beschreibung

<b>The extraordinary, subversive literary debut from Mercury Prize-nominated musician and artist Rebecca Lucy Taylor (aka SELF ESTEEM)</b><br><br> “A pin-up and an oracle for millennial women.”<br><b>Dolly Alderton</b><br><br><i>In the beginning I was nothing. And then He made me:</i><br><br><i>A sexualized form</i><br><i>A disappointing muse</i><br><i>A biological clock</i><br><i>A power-hungry Jezabel</i><br><i>An object of abuse</i><br><i>A comfort blanket</i><br><i>Forbidden Fruit</i><br><br><i>Breasts and nice teeth.</i><br><br> In her extraordinary debut, with trademark lyricism and razor-sharp wit, Mercury Prize-nominated musician and artist Rebecca Lucy Taylor (aka SELF ESTEEM) takes us on a journey through womanhood - whatever the hell that means.<br><br> Through vignettes, lyrics and biting observational prose, A COMPLICATED WOMAN takes us from Genesis through the Fall through tentative attempts to cast ourselves as the Messiah in our own lives. It offers itself up as a subversive anti-Bible for any woman who has ever cracked under the weight of impossible expectation; who has done unto others the damage that has been wrought onto her; and who has discovered deep within herself a resilience that surprised her.<br><br> A COMPLICATED WOMAN is a cathartic scream of a book that gets to the heart of what it is to be a woman in the world today, and cements Taylor as one of the most exciting voices of her generation.
