Revisiting Beauty Standards and Feminism

This chapter examines the societal pressures surrounding beauty standards, particularly for women of different ethnic backgrounds, and critiques the notion of individualism in feminist progress. It emphasizes the systemic oppression faced by marginalized women and the importance of collective efforts rather than solely personal achievements. Through personal anecdotes and insights from feminist thinkers, the chapter challenges listeners to rethink the implications of beauty norms and the dynamics of power within feminist narratives.
