Naomi Wolf "The Beauty Myth"
In the struggle for
women's equality, there is one subject still shrouded in silence -
women's compulsive pursuit of beauty. The myth of female beauty
challenges every woman, every day of her life.
Naomi Wolf exposes
the tyranny of the beauty myth through the ages and its oppressive
function today, in the home and at work, in literature and the media, in
relationships between men and women, between women and women. With
pertinent and intelligent examples, she confronts the beauty industry
and its advertising and uncovers the reasons why women are consumed by
this destructive obsession.
