4.9/5 (27752 ratings)

Description:Unpalatable though the fact may be, a woman's beauty has always counted for a great deal in both her personal and her professional life: the same is not, however, true for men. But why should anything as accidental as looks have so strong an influence on a woman's chances of success in life?A myth prevails that women are the fair sex. To support that myth, women are expected to spend a great deal of time and money striving for the goal of beauty. They diet pathologically, exercise to the point of exhaustion, disguise themselves with cosmetics, camouflage their bodies, even undergo surgery ... and they pursue youthfulness more and more intensely as they age.In her expose of society's palpably unjust yet universally accepted double standard for beauty, Rita Freedman examines the concept of female beauty as a social myth, how our physical perception of ourselves affects our mental health, the value of cosmetic rituals, the power of beauty, adornment vs achievement, the sexual language of beauty, age anxiety and the cult of youth, and the need for women to base their self-image on something other than their appearance.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
