Unveiling the Hidden Layers: Ashley Anderson’s Bold Exploration of the Woman’s Body
As the collection progresses, the essay subjects become more esoteric, and less concretely linked to Anderson’s physical body. While the author does not owe us any information about her body, at times it feels like we’re being kept at an arm’s length, which made it harder for me as a reader to connect with Anderson’s experience. Then again this begs the question: do I need to know the details? Or is that just another way that patriarchy demands women exhibit and expose their bodies? Is the typical framework of stories that we’ve been given wrong all along?
