The Beauty Myth means How Beauty images Are Used Against Women is a nonfiction book by Naomi Wolf.
The basic idea of The Beauty Myth is that as the social prominence and power of women have increased, the pressure of adhering to unrealistic social standards to get physical beauty has also grown much important due to commercial influences on the mass media. This pressure resulted in unhealthy behaviors by women and a problem with appearance in both sexes, and it compromises the women's ability to be effective.
According to Wolf women have "the choice to do whatever they want with their bodies and faces without being punished by an ideology that is using economic pressure, attitude and even legal judgments regarding women's appearance to undermine them psychologically". Wolf argued that women get assaulted by the "beauty myth" in five areas: work, sex, religion, violence, and hunger.
