Review of Adrienne Celt, Her Beautiful Body, Strange Horizons 5 Feb. Read online. Reviewed by Danielle Maurer.
This is one of those stories that makes you go hmmm.
The premise is simple enough. A womans body is being featured as a museum exhibit, and you are invited to experience the exhibit. The narrator is your tour guide, pointing out interesting features of her body, as well as commenting on the activists who are angry about the exhibit.
On the one hand, wow. What a metaphor for the objectification of women. This is literally a woman reduced only to the value of her body; the guide summarily dismisses the mind, saying that the body could [not] possibly be improved by something so intangible and distant as consciousness. The activists who focus on her life, on the things less physical that made her a person, are also dismissed by the narrator. Instead, we are left only with her body as an object to study and worship.
