Self-Help
The bestselling classic that redefined
our view od the relationship between beauty and female
identity. 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."
