Naomi Wolf's urgent and important expose of the cult of beauty in abridged, accessible form.

Vintage Feminism- classic feminist texts in short form

WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR

Every day, women around the world are confronted with a dilemma - how to look. In a society embroiled in a cult of female beauty and youthfulness, pressure on women to conform physically is constant and all-pervading. In this shortened edition you will find the essence of Wolf's groundbreaking book. It is a radical, gripping and frank expose of the tyranny of the beauty myth, its oppressive function and the destructive obsession it engenders.
