Seller Description
THE BESTSELING ClASSIC THAT REDEFINED OUR VIEW OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BEAUTY AND FEMALE IDENTITY In today's world, women have more power, legal recognition, and pro fessional success than ever before. Alongside the evident progress of the women's movement, however, writer and journalist Naomi Wolf is troubled by a different kind of social control, which, she argues, may prove just as restrictive as the traditional image of homemaker and wife. It's the beauty myth, an obsession with physical perfection that traps the modern woman in an endless spiral of hope, self-consciousness, and self-hatred as she tries to fulfill society's impossible definition of "the flawless beauty."
