Beschreibung

From Sunday Timesbestselling author Alex Light comes an empowering, incisive new book examining the crushing beauty standards women are subjected to - and how we can learn to fight back.In a world full of filters, tweakments, and weight-loss drugs, take back control and rewrite the rules of beauty on your own terms. Today's unrelenting beauty standards tell women that our worth is conditional; that we aren't good enough as we are. We fix and filter, tweak and tone, erasing ourselves to reach the ever-shifting goal of perfection. In The Price of Pretty, Sunday Timesbestselling author and podcaster Alex Light investigates the forces behind today's beauty dystopia. From the rise of new technologies and treatments framed as 'self-care' and the industries profiting from our insecurities, to the toxic messaging passed through generations, and how we can break the cycle. With lunchtime 'tweakments' on the high street, endless endorsements for weight-loss drugs, and inescapable AI images and filters, the pressure to be eternally youthful, naturally filtered and flawlessly sculpted has reached breaking point. And women are paying a high price: financially, physically, emotionally and mentally. Interrogating how we got here, Alex exposes the all-consuming cost of beauty and issues a clarion call for all of us to take control and fight back. Because here's the truth: you were never the problem in the first place.
