«The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women» is Naomi Wolf's feminist essay, published by Vintage in paperback.
Naomi Wolf denounces that images of beauty are used against women: the ideal of physical perfection acts as social control. This pressure limits women at home and at work, and the beauty industry with its advertising feeds anxiety. She also analyses the effects of this obsession on relationships between women.
Published in 1991, with 352 pages and text in English. It belongs to feminism and gender studies.
For readers interested in feminism, sociology and gender studies, as well as in the critical analysis of the beauty industry.
