Sweet Nothings

$29.99

Description

Thirty years on from The First Stone, Madison Griffiths is ready to blow the conversation wide open

The professor who whispers sweet nothings into his students’ ears makes sweet nothings out of them.

Sweet Nothings is a gripping account of four women’s interwoven stories in the wake of having once been students who embarked on romantic relationships with their university professors. 
 
Through the stories of Rose, Blaine, Cara and Elsie, Griffiths explores what these relationships tell us about power and interrogates how class and gender are expressed and exploited in our academic institutions. 
 
By tackling sex, desire and its consequences in a university setting, Griffiths looks keenly at the gender imbalances that inform these affairs, and how thorny betrayal becomes when a woman is made to believe she is the ‘exception to the rule’ only to find out she is one of many.

I just received my order and wanted to say thank you for getting it sent out so quickly. I have bought from your shop a few times now and the orders always come within a few days (which is great because I sometimes buy last minute gifts!). But also wanted to say that the shop is great because I know I will always be buying products that are made not only by artists but women which is something I love to support. happy customers.
