The Beauty Myth
''The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women'' is a nonfiction book by Naomi Wolf, published in 1991 by William Morrow and Company. It was republished in 2002 by HarperPerennial with a new introduction.
The basic premise of ''The Beauty Myth'' is that as women have gained increased social power and prominence, expected adherence to standards of physical beauty has grown stronger for women.
==Summary==
In her introduction, Wolf offers the following analysis:
Wolf also posits the idea of an iron maiden, an intrinsically unattainable standard that is then used to punish women physically and psychologically for their failure to achieve and conform to it. Wolf criticizes the fashion and beauty industries as exploitative of women, but claims the beauty myth extends into all areas of human functioning. Wolf writes that women should have "the choice to do whatever we want with our faces and bodies without being punished by an ideology that is using attitudes, economic pressure, and even legal judgments regarding women's appearance to undermine us psychologically and politically". Wolf argued that women were under assault by the "beauty myth" in five areas: work, religion, sex, violence, and hunger. Ultimately, Wolf argues for a relaxation of normative standards of beauty.〔''The Beauty Myth'', pp. 17-18, 20, 86, 131, 179, 218.〕
