Naomi Wolf's groundbreaking book, "The Beauty Myth," explores how notions of beauty are socially constructed and used to oppress women. It argues that as women gained more power, unrealistic standards of beauty were created to distract them from their achievements, reinforce male dominance, and keep women focused on superficial appearances. The book examines the impact of these pressures on women's well-being, health, and economic opportunities, advocating for a redefinition of beauty based on genuine empowerment.
