The Beauty Myth

 The beauty myth is a revolutionary book that will forever change the way we think about beauty. It isn't just 'out there'—it's in here, too. The impossible standard of beauty set by today's culture has already had a devastating effect on our daughters—and on women everywhere—but Naomi Wolf argues that it need not rule our lives. In this groundbreaking book, she explores how women's quest to meet societies impossible definition of the flawless beauty can become an obsession with self-hatred, weight loss and surgery, as well as a distraction from all the other things in life that are truly fulfilling.
