the beauty myth

The beauty myth-Naomi Wolf

Very much to do with my topic
quote from the book-p84

" They need, consciously or not, to promote womens hating their bodies enough to go profitably hungry, since the advertsing budget for one third of the nations food bill depends on their doing so by dieting. The advertisers who make womens mass culture possible depend on making women feel bad enough about their faces and bodies to spend more money on worthless or pain-inducing products that they would if they felt innately beautiful."
