Summary: How older woman cope in a Society of Beauty
Comment: In reading this book, I found that it hit home in how I feel in today's society. I am not of Jewish decent but I am over 50. I am a student at Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, Ontario. I read the book for my Sociology of Woman's class, and I feel that in todays society if you are not thin, have gorgeous hair and the perfect body, you no longer seem to fit into today's culture.
So where does the older generation fit, who knows.
Women are not supposed to age, get wrinkles,gain weight or go grey. Why is that? Who knows. As I am one of those women as of today I still do not have the grey hair but that is because I am a natural blonde and it does not show as much, but I have the extra weight and what am I to do. Well you guessed it try and fit into today's society by loosing it and trying to be what the media says I should look like.
The book tells it how it is to live in our Western Society, we need to have the media stop putting pressure on us.
