The episode, taken from the book "The Beauty Myth" by Naomi Wolf, explores the manipulation of the female image by the beauty industry as a tool of male control and domination. The author argues that the beauty standard imposed on women, particularly in Western society, is a social construct that serves to keep women submissive and in competition with each other, perpetuating gender inequalities. The text investigates the various ways in which the beauty myth impacts women, from their self-perception and self-esteem to their professional performance and mental health. Wolf analyzes how the myth manifests itself in various areas, including the media, advertising, the job market and interpersonal relationships, revealing the strategies used to perpetuate the belief in the need to conform to an imposed ideal of beauty. The work seeks to demystify the myth and alert women to its negative consequences, promoting awareness and empowerment so that they can break away from imposed standards and take control of their own lives and identities.
