Beauty and Misogyny: The Politics of Beauty Practices

About the productJapanese

Just as women once deformed their legs and hips with corsets and foot binding, they continue to put strain on their bodies in the pursuit of beauty today. If becoming beautiful in exchange for losing health makes life easier for women, what kind of society do we live in?
This book presents beauty practices (from industrial to everyday) as "harmful cultural practices" that promote male domination and female subordination, and offers a scathing critique of Western-centric and androcentric values.
This is a classic work of radical feminism that was the starting point of the anti-corset movement in Korea. (Quoted from the Keio University Press website)
