| |  | | | In Brief
The author "contends that society's emphasis on a woman's appearance makes women weaker than men socially, politically, and economically." (Christ Sci Monit) Bibliography. Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
Explores the phenomenon of the violent backlash against feminism that uses images of female beauty as a political weapon against women's advancement.
| | | | Annotation
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.
