Discovering the Beauty Myth by Galilea Barraza Nunez

            The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf enlightens the reader about many issues women have to face throughout their lives. For example, women are criticized about sexual experiences, relationships, pornography, capitalism, and the pressure to fit in to society’s expectations. This book proves women have lived in a male dominant society for centuries, exposing and enlightening readers, expressing how women aren’t treated fairly.

            Overall, The Beauty Myth is an interesting informational book that highlights many issues today. Rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars are given towards this book from me. I chose this rating because although it was an engaging book, the theme was hard to define. There are many parts in the book where any reader, male or female, can relate to. Thus, any male or female can read this book. I highly recommend this book to women ranging from fifteen years of age and up. At the age of 15, girls tend to try to fit into society’s expectations leading them into doing anything to fit in. This book can benefit 15 year olds, opening their eyes and show them their worth.
