Beauty Sick: How the Cultural Obsession with Appearance Hurts Girls and Women

Product Information

This was a necessary read and one I’d suggest to all — whether they obsess over their appearance or not at all. Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook).

At a practical level, beauty sickness steals women’s time, energy, and money, moving us further away from the people we want to be and the lives we want to live. Engeln’s book is thought provoking and will be fascinating for all readers, especially those interested in psychology, cultural studies, media, or gender studies.

Ayuda a las mujeres con las que pasas el tiempo a escapar del espejo interno fomentando las conversaciones sobre otros temas.Ah, naturalmente al posto dello specchio in frantumi della copertina originale, simbolo della liberazione della donna dall'ossessione per l'aspetto fisico, in Italia ci hanno messo un bel torso femminile con il metro da sarta intorno a misurare meticolosamente il punto vita. Może nie ma ona w sobie nic odkrywczego i opisuje naszą rzeczywistość, ale właśnie przez to możemy się z nią zidentyfikować. For all ebook purchases, you will be prompted to create an account or login with your existing HarperCollins username and password. Others are more subtle, like the distracted hours a girl spends obtaining the perfect selfie to post on social media.
