Sweet-Talk is about the internal battle of a women’s own perception and desires of herself. It uses text from John Berger’s Ways of Seeing to connect this idea of how a woman is always aware of her appearance no matter what task she may be doing. Going back and forth between negative and positives labels, this book explores self-image and the battle of being viewed as “an object” in society.
