Book Reviews of The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women

Book Review: You will NOT regret reading this !
Summary: 5 Stars

When i read this i found it easy to relate to its examples and situations about women and the treatment.I think that every woman should read this to help them understand that right now they are being cheated of what is rightly theirs. Its hard to describe what an impact this has had on me in words but from now on i will be thinking alot more about womens issues. No woman in her right mind would shy away from a book which gives them the best informational read of her life. What ever age you are it doesn't matter its never too late to pick this book up !
