Know about the book -

Overcoming Objectification is written by Ann J. Cahill and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1136859314 (ISBN 10) and 9781136859311 (ISBN 13).

Objectification is a foundational concept in feminist theory, used to analyze such disparate social phenomena as sex work, representation of women's bodies, and sexual harassment. In this work, Cahill argues that the notion should be abandoned by feminist theorists due to its reliance on outdated philosophical assumptions, such as the centrality of autonomy and rationality to both subjectivity and ethics. Instead, she suggests working towards an ethics of sexuality based upon the recognition of difference.
