À propos de cet audio

The bestselling classic that redefined our view of 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."

This was a very real look at the problems of "traditional Western beauty" in our society, for men and women. There are so many knots that make up this mess of unhappiness with ourselves and the image we put out into the world, that I was impressed at how thorough the author was as she masterfully unweaved each thread. I would be very interested to listen to further studies of the Beauty Myth in other cultures as instituionalized unhappiness and unfullfillment for profit is a global market.

After hearing this book quoted many times in podcasts I had to listen to it. It is definitely a must-listen for anyone who calls themselves a feminist or questions feminism

The book is old, a lot of things have changed since 1990 but sadly still has a lot of facts and truth in it. I wish there was am updated version for the beauty myth. It is excellant narrated! I recommend this book for every young woman.
