Naomi Wolf, Il mito della bellezza, 2022

“Do women feel free?” asks Naomi Wolf in the introduction to this classic of feminist thought. Analysing and elaborating on the concept of beauty, Wolf takes a provocative and passionate journey through the various stages of a woman’s life: from work to sex, from culture to nutrition, from relationships with men to those with other women. “The Myth of Beauty” returns in a new edition curated by Maura Gancitano and Jennifer Guerra, feminist intellectuals and philosophers. To bring Wolf’s discourse back to our contemporary times and to show how, today more than ever, a reflection on beauty and femininity is necessary within every sphere of our lives. A timeless essay, which gives voice to obsessions and oppressions, to help us become aware and unhinge the myth of beauty once and for all.
