    Glass slipper or glass ceiling?
  

*by K***I on Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2019*

Coming towards the end of Summer Brennan’s book High Heel, this phrase encapsulates the high heeled shoe as both a fashion statement and a metaphor for the patriarchy.Brennan’s  150 short essays, can, like Cortázar’s book Hopscotch, be read in or out of order. She employs literary reference and allusion at a frenetic, though friendly pace, from Sylvia Plath to The Brothers Grimm, to Ovid.Perhaps my favorite is the re-imagining of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Daphne, amongst other women in Ovid’s tales flees a man, but is immobilized as a laurel tree. Rape, chase and immobilization are constant themes. Are High Heels but another way to slow down, to immobilize?Brennan fiercely illuminates both sides of the argument, never relinquishing a woman’s choice to wear heels, nor accepting the patriarchal implications. One wants her to choose sides but she is too wise to do so.Another crucial piece of Brennan’s argument concerns the fluidity of gender that exists outside duality. She examines how this can provide a path to understanding.While we must believe that a future of true gender equality exists, to get there one must embrace both the freedoms of today and limn clearly the biases of the past and present. This Summer Brennan does exquisitely.

Her phrasing- the word choices and cadence- is remarkable. Beautiful description in an interesting book.

    Deeply thoughtful all the way through
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2019*

This isn't a history of the high heel, of who first put a spike on the bottom of a heel and called it fashion though it contains many fascinating historical tidbits. It is an extended pondering on what the heel is, why the heel is, and what it is like to live with. It's thoughtful and wide ranging, touching briefly on various shores. It was a very satisfying book because it brought so much to the table and left me thinking about the questions it raised for days afterward.
