The Beauty Myth Revisited: How Images of Beauty Are Still Used Against Women
On the eve of the 20th anniversary of The Beauty Myth, Naomi Wolf revisits the work that The New York Times called one of the most important books of the 20th century.
Wolf’s landmark international bestseller challenged the cosmetics industry and the marketing of unrealistic standards of beauty, launching a new wave of feminism in the early 1990s.
