This week I assigned my "Argument and Research" students the introduction to Naomi Wolf's
The Beauty Myth, in which she discusses the specious nature of standards of beauty and how they are a political backlash to the feminist movement. It was kind of fun to discuss with my students. I am trying to decide if I want to pick up the book; has anyone out there read it or have any recommendations to read it? The introduction was pretty intriguing, but I can't decide if I want to read a whole book about how screwed up our culture is with respect to perceptions of beauty.
