If Cleopatra's nose had been half an inch longer, neither Caesar
nor Mark Anthony would have fallen in love with her. It: The
History of Human Beauty treats outstanding physical attractiveness
as a quality or possession, comparable to power, intelligence,
strength, wealth, education or family, that had a marked effect on
history. Beauty in men and women opened opportunities to its
possessors not available to the ordinary looking or ugly. While in
the past women have had to use the lure of sex to achieve power or
wealth, epitomized by royal mistresses or the Grandes Horizontales
of the nineteenth century, modern film stars (male and female) can
acquire great wealth simply by the use of their images, while
attractiveness on television is an essential modern qualification
for power, as shown by Ronald Reagan and Tony Blair.
