The bestselling classic that redefined our view od the relationship between beauty and female identity In today's world, women have more power, legal recognition, and professional success than ever before. Alongside the evident progress of the women's movement, however, writer and journalist Naomi Wolf is troubled by a different kind of social control, which, she argues, may prove just as restrictive as the traditional image of homemaker and wife. It's the beauty myth, an obsession with physical perfection that traps the modern woman in an endless spiral of hope, self-consciousness, and self-hatred as she tries to fulfill society's impossible definition of "the flawless beauty." .

Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity
A provocative manifesto, Whipping Girl tells the powerful story of Julia Serano, a transsexual woman whose supremely intelligent writing reflects her diverse background as a lesbian transgender activist and professional biologist. Serano shares her experiences and observations — both pre- and post-transition — to reveal the ways in which fear, suspicion, and dismissiveness toward femininity shape our societal attitudes toward trans women, as well as gender and sexuality as a whole. Serano's well-honed arguments stem from her ability to bridge the gap between the often-disparate biological and social perspectives on gender. She exposes how deep-rooted the cultural belief is that femininity is frivolous, weak, and passive, and how this “feminine” weakness exists only to attract and appease male desire. In addition to debunking popular misconceptions about transsexuality, Serano makes the case that today's feminists and transgender activist must work to embrace and empower femininity — in all of its wondrous forms. .

Through tales of her travels around the globe to Africa, Bali, Russia, China, and Ireland, her mother s ancestral home Gail shares her search to balance her fulfilling and demanding empowerment work and social activism with a rich, rewarding inner life. Along the way, she recounts: Her years of addiction to busyness, speed, and workaholism to numb her grief and shut the door against overwhelming emotions. Her rigid reliance on rationalism, in misguided efforts to be more like her intelligent father and her strategically brilliant husband and business partner.

The long healing process of transforming her emptiness into openness, nurturing the irrational, and making peace with and learning from death. Her commitment to honoring her mother and the universal force of the feminine by becoming a spiritual mother to others.
