![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In this publication, the author’s thesis statement draws a relationship that exists between female liberation and female physical appearance. The concern that Wolf raises about the issue is personal, since it is applicable to any female, and it is backed by historical data and the necessary statistics to illustrate her views. The Beauty Myth looks at the scope to which attractiveness has influenced females search for equality and how the same scenario occurs in our own lives as well as in the larger society. She argues that beauty myth exists to induce the society to regard women’s look above everything they may have. In the last chapter, Wolf plainly states practical suggestions on how to get rid of the societal machinery that insists on upholding standards of physical beauty among women. Wolf categorically asserts that to concede to the beauty myth problem can assist in advancing it with more devastating results instead of alleviating the situation. Wolf also examines the hostile behaviors that exist between women and men and between women themselves, which comes in the way of eating disorders and cosmetic surgery. The Book provides explanations on the role of the beauty myth in the spheres of employment, traditions, religious affiliation, and in sex and sexual relations. In 2002, the book was published again to include a new introductory note by the same author. ![]()
