SOCIETY: KATHY SHERIDANreviews Living Dolls: The Return of Sexismby Natasha Walter, Virago, 273pp, £12.99
THIS BOOK is not about sex, or its ubiquity. It is not about the latest trashy label for sexually active, older women (Cougars, eh? And now folks, for a crate of Viagra, give us the popular zoo label for Jack Nicholson and his many elderly, paunchy ilk ? You’re right. There isn’t one). It is not about the behaviour of any particular class, since the theme affects all of us profoundly.
