Feminist Naomi Wolf argues that women's insecurities. The tall, nearly emaciated mannequins that push the latest miracle cosmetic make even the most confident woman question her appearance. The narration is excellent, Suzy conveys the tone of the writing without making it laughable and is very easy to listen to. In a country where the average woman is 5-foot-4 and weighs 140 pounds, movies, advertisements, and MTV saturate our lives with unrealistic images of beauty. Which character – as performed by Suzy Jackson – was your favorite? Rowan Dean’s Outsiders podcast features none other than feminist icon Dr Naomi Wolf, author of one of the most influential books of last century The Beauty Myth. This is a topic that is deeply relevant to every woman, feminist or not, and the book doesn't do it justice. What was most disappointing about Naomi Wolf’s story? The book has an unfortunate tendency towards hyperbole and the authors description of patriarchy in western history and her hypothesis on how it creates the pressure to be beautiful needs to be overhauled in a new edition or taken with a large dose of salt.

The subject is still very relevant to women today but the writing has not aged well. What disappointed you about The Beauty Myth? Needs updating, research and lacks clarity
