Re: The Beauty Myth

I have it. It's not a self-help book, and it's not bad, although it lead some reviewers to deride Naomi Wolf as "the leading weathervane of her generation." She spends a lot of time complaining about "victim feminism" - certainly a worthy subject for complaint, but The Beauty Myth was pretty victim-ish.

I'd recommend getting it out of the library rather than buying it, personally.
