Contents The beauty myth -- Work -- Culture -- Religion -- Sex -- Hunger -- Violence -- Beyond the beauty myth
Summary In this controversial national bestseller, feminist scholar Naomi Wolf argues that there is one hurdle in the struggle for equality that women have yet to clear--the myth of female beauty. She exposes today's unrealistic standards of female beauty as a destructive form of social control and a reaction against women's increasing status in business and politics
