dirac Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 A review of two new ballet memoirs by Glory Liu in The Nation.

They also reveal the construction of a ballerina’s psyche and the challenges of learning and unlearning the physical and mental habits that ballet teaches women: to endure pain as a virtue, to wholly submit their bodies to the art, and to accept their pain and submission as normal.
