Il classico bestseller che ha ridefinito la nostra visione del rapporto tra bellezza e identità femminile. Ogni giorno, le donne di tutto il mondo si confrontano con un dilemma: come apparire. In una società coinvolta nel culto della bellezza e della giovinezza femminile, la pressione sulle donne affinché si conformino fisicamente è costante e onnipresente. In questa iconica, avvincente e schietta denuncia, Naomi Wolf espone la tirannia del mito della bellezza attraverso i secoli e la sua funzione oppressiva oggi, in casa e al lavoro, nella letteratura e nei media, nelle relazioni tra uomini e donne, tra donne e donne. Con esempi pertinenti e intelligenti, affronta l'industria della bellezza e la sua pubblicità e scopre le ragioni per cui le donne sono consumate da questa ossessione distruttiva. "Lettura essenziale" Guardian "Un libro intelligente, arrabbiato, perspicace e un chiaro invito alla libertà. Ogni donna dovrebbe leggerlo" Gloria Steinem
