Provocative, punchy and important, this is one of the essential classics of modern feminist literature.
Naomi Wolf was born in 1962 in San Francisco. She studied at Yale before becoming a Rhodes scholar at New College, Oxford, and working in Edinburgh. The Beauty Myth was published in 1990 and was an international bestseller. This was followed by Fire with Fire, Promiscuities, Misconceptions and The Tree House.
A smart, angry, insightful book, and a clarion call to freedom.
Every woman should read it.
*Gloria Steinem*
Powerful... No other work has...so honestly depicted the confusion
of accomplished women who feel emotionally and physically tortured
by the need to look like movie stars
*New York Times*
The most important feminist publication since The Female Eunuch
*Germaine Greer*
A brilliant, bracing book...The world has changed - a bit - over
the past decade and a half, but not enough: this remains essential
reading
*Guardian*
Essential reading
*Fay Weldon*
