"In this provocative work full of intriguing female characters from tattoo history, Margot Mifflin makes a persuasive case for the tattooed woman as an emblem of female self-expression." —Susan Faludi Bodies of Subversion is the first history of women’s tattoo art, providing a fascinating excursion to a subculture that dates back into the nineteenth-century and includes many never-before-seen photos of tattooed women from the last century. Author Margot Mifflin notes that women’s interest in tattoos surged in the suffragist 20s and the feminist 70s. She chronicles: * Breast cancer survivors of the 90s who tattoo their mastectomy scars as an alternative to reconstructive surgery or prosthetics. * The parallel rise of tattooing and cosmetic surgery during the 80s when women tattooists became soul doctors to a nation afflicted with body anxieties. * Maud Wagner, the first known woman tattooist, who in 1904 traded a date with her tattooist husband-to-be for an apprenticeship. * Victorian society women who wore tattoos as custom couture, including Winston Churchill’s mother, who wore a serpent on her wrist. * Nineteeth-century sideshow attractions who created fantastic abduction tales in which they claimed to have been forcibly tattooed. “In Bodies of Subversion, Margot Mifflin insightfully chronicles the saga of skin as signage. Through compelling anecdotes and cleverly astute analysis, she shows and tells us new histories about women, tattoos, public pictures, and private parts. It’s an indelible account of an indelible piece of cultural history.” —Barbara Kruger, artist
Zoe: I admit I’m a dirty girl. Behind my shy, nerdy exterior there lives a woman consumed with filthy, naughty fantasies. Even more, I like to draw in my diary, and lately, I’ve been sketching a lot of Dane Reston. He’s a tattoo artist with six pack abs, gorgeous artwork swirling all over his chiseled body, as well as a huge *you know what.* My challenge? Seeing it in real life. Dane: She thinks I don’t know, but trust me, I know. She thinks she’s so shy and demure, but it’s just a mirage. After all, I found Zoe’s diary, and now I’m going to show the curvy girl what *real life* tastes like. Fantasy? There’s no need to dream anymore … because she’s getting it hard if I have my way. This book was originally released as part of an anthology called The Boyfriend Diaries, but it’s been expanded and revised for your pleasure! Watch as Zoe and Dane make waves when they realize their mutual attraction. It may begin with dirty pictures, but their love becomes tattooed in ink before they know it. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride! This book is a follow-up to Mistaken for an Escort, but all of my stories are standalone and do not need to be read in order. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and always a HEA.
