Working Women - Jessica Strang (1984)

About

"She flies from the front of the world's most expensive car, graces one of man's most coveted sporting trophies, sells products as diverse as photographic film, crackers and car batteries. No part of her is sacred, her skirts keep teapots warm, dust furniture, dispense perfume and even light up. To make matters worse, she is dissected, her lips become a sofa, her legs kick smoke, open letters, hold toast, file fingernails and more disturbingly, crack nuts. Her hands hold flowers, scratch backs and clutch golden chains. But worse off all, she is debased, crouching on all fours with a thick glass tabletop on her back. Every quality that 'man' has ever striven for finds expression in the female form. Why is a woman made to do all these things?..."
