The Beauty Myth
We read some excerpts from the book "The Beauty Myth", in which Naomi Wolf argues that:
"The more legal and material hindrances women have broken through, the more strictly and heavily and cruelly images of female beauty have come to weigh upon us...”We thought about what questions we would like to ask her, and then hot-seated her, imagining what she might say in response. Lots of the pupils got quite obsessed by the question as to why she was wearing make-up in the photo I had used of her. If you're reading this, Naomi, get in touch - the controversy is raging at GFS!
