The Desire to be the Perfect Women by Verenice Murillo
The vast majority of American women, around thirty-three thousand,
admitted to researchers that instead achieving any other goal, they would
preferably lose ten to fifteen pounds. In the nonfiction book The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are
Used Against Women (2002) by Naomi Wolf illustrates all the challenges
women in society go through such as in, work, media, and in the religious
sphere. She provides many statistics and anecdotes from several different
people to support her ideas. Wolf suggests that women can reevaluate themselves
and not live up to men’s institutions. Overall, Wolf gets all her ideas and
points across in this book, which is why I give this book a rating of three
stars out of five. I would most definitely recommend this to both women and
men, mainly women with low self-esteem because it can motivate them to think more
highly of themselves. I would recommend this book to men only for the mere
reason that their mindset should not be antifeminist.
