I was blown away by your quotes from Parade. So much could be said about it. I was particularly struck by her feelings on male superiority and how it relates to capitalism. Of only people (andd especially women) would give it some real thought, we could have a different world.
Thank you. Yes I've read a few interesting pieces in recent years about the excessive amount of money women are encouraged and often expected to spend on things like fashion and beauty. Rachel Cusk's writing can be a bit divisive - people seem to love or hate her books - but she really does have a flair for making us think.

I might give her a chance :) Its just that I've got so many books on my tbr, its hard to tell when I'll be reading what.
I know that feeling!
