But, as John Dombrink writes in The Twilight of Social Conservatism, the conservative backlash seen during Obama's presidency is...

ISBN: 9780814789209 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A small dolphin on the ankle, a black line on the lower back, a flower on the hip, or a child's name on the shoulder blade--among the women who make up the twenty percent of all adults in the USA who have tattoos, these are by far the most popular choices.

But what about women who are heavily tattooed? Or women who visibly wear imagery, like skulls, that can be perceived as masculine or ugly when inked on their skin? Drawing on...
