Lipstick by Eileen G'Sell, teaching professor of College Writing at Washington University, is a cultural critique that explores the history, politics, and personal significance of lipstick. It is published as part of Bloomsbury's "Object Lessons" series and challenges traditional ideas about femininity and power, arguing that lipstick can be a source of play, transformation, and even feminist politics.
