About This Item

New York: Vantage Press, 1991. First Edition. . Hardback. Very Good/Very Good. First US edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 21 × 14cm, 189pp. In Three Female Myths of the 20th Century: Garbo, Callas, Navratilova, Dr Iris Bunsch presents a New Age overview of three dazzling media icons who resisted the image manufacturers by refusing to be pigeonholed into the traditional, normative life-styles approved for women. Garbo, Callas, Navratilova - each was forced to become their own Pygmalion, creating herself out of the natural resources of body, mind, and soul. A provocative, challenging journey from the sound stages of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to the prompter's box at the Metropolitan Opera, and finally to the baselines of Wimbledon. Stripped of folkloric ornamentation, this is a perceptive reassessment of three spectacular careers, written by an international scholar and dedicated feminist. Condition: This copy is in very good condition. There is a hint of fading to the spine and a small dent to the first few pages but otherwise the book remains in strong readable condition.
