paige_stanford 's review for:
Found this book via Jessica DeFino's Substack (which I highly recommend if you, like me, are trying to unpack how "beauty culture is the new diet culture"). Fascinating and educational, but also sobering. So many interesting observations that I want to discuss further with friends, like how physical beauty can be used as a measurement for unrelated characteristics like intelligence and morality, how beauty norms uphold traditional gender roles, the faux-empowerment of doing beauty work "for myself", and more.
