Pick up a magazine, turn on the TV, and you'll find few women who
haven't been fried, dyed, plucked, or tucked. In short, you'll see
no body outlaws. The writers in this groundbreaking anthology
reveal a world where bodies come in all their many-splendored
shapes, sizes, colors, and textures. In doing so, they expand the
national dialogue on body image to include race, ethnicity,
sexuality, and power-issues that, while often overlooked, are
intimately linked to how women feel about their bodies. Body
Outlaws offers stories by those who have chosen to ignore, subvert,
or redefine the dominant beauty standard in order to feel at home
in their bodies. In a culture where plastic surgery has become
nearly as routine as a root canal, this expanded and updated
edition of fresh and incisive commentary challenges the media's
standard notions of beauty with honesty and humor. Included are
several new essays outlining the latest trends in the beauty
industry such as botox, plastic surgery, and exercise bulimia, as
well as a fascinating analysis of how men are affected by these
same rigors, a thorough resource section, and a curriculum guide.
