It's so melodramatic to say that every woman should read this book, but, well, every woman should read this book. Published in the early '90s, it definitely touches on points that have changed and evolved over the past 15 years, but the foundations of Wolf's argument are just as relevant today as they were then. Wolf does get a bit preachy at times--I found myself skimming through sections where I felt a little like I was being beaten over the head with a point that had been adequately stated already. But in so many ways, Wolf is right on the mark, with equal parts jaw-dropping facts and thought-provoking discussions of larger issues. Her chapters on beauty-product advertising and women in the workplace fell a little flat for me--I felt that many of the points have become less relevant over time, and much of it was talk I've heard before. But the chapters on plastic surgery, sex, and the culture of thinness were fascinating--even novel--and got me thinking about issues I was already aware of in totally new ways. In the end, The Beauty Myth is a presentation of facts and ideas--some more strongly emphasized than others--that act as a jumping off point for the reader's own thoughts about what feminism means. Wolf does away with the feminist stereotypes, giving them no more attention than they deserve, and gives the reader full license to take what the book offers and use it in whatever way is relevant to her as an individual. It's definitely no light read, but it's an important book--the kind that makes you wish for some cosmic book club meeting among all women in the Western world to acknowledge and hash out the issues at the root of the way we live, which we've all been taught to accept without question.
