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.
