«Beauté fatale» is the feminist essay by Mona Chollet, published by Editions La Découverte in paperback (293 pages, in French).
The essay analyses the "tyranny of the look": the fashion and beauty industry imposes a stereotyped femininity through the press, advertising, blogs and series. Chollet argues that these unattainable ideals foster self-devaluation and anxiety, and that the body is key in the struggle for women's rights, against violence and for workplace equality.
«Beauté fatale» was originally published in 2012; this edition is from April 2015 and belongs to the Poche/Essais collection of La Découverte.
Reading for those interested in sociology, feminism and critique of gender stereotypes.
