500 _ahow images of female beauty are used against women
520 _aThe 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 dif ferent 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.
