| THE
BEAUTY MYTH: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women,
2002, Naomi Wolf. In today's world, women have more power,
legal recognition, and professional 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." |
