The Mass Market Woman: Defining Yourself as a Person in a World That Defines You By Your Appearance

Rating:
Summary: Light reading on a heavy subject.
Review: A judge a book by the number of lines I underline. This had about 4. It consists of 1-2 page essays on body-image, dieting and beauty issues. I wished the essays were longer and more factual. It is a helpful read if you are studying self-acceptance,but by far the best book on the subject is, "How Much Does Your Soul Weigh?" by Dorrie McCubbrey.

Summary: Should be required reading for every woman
Review: Excellent reading material for any female. Coming from a generation hounded by Seventeen Magazine from age 11, this really woke me up to the constant messages we women are bombarded with from childhood. It helped wake up to the person I can become if I continue to fear aging and trying to stay 22....it gave me a new perspective on becoming a truly valuable person. A great first step to exploring exactly who it is you are and how you feel about your appearance vs. who you could become.
Wish it were easier to find, and I certainly wish she had written other material!

Summary: I keep it on my nightstand
Review: This is a wonderful book. I read it constantly. The chapters are short- almost like meditations. It is a really refreshing perspective on how women can focus on what is really important in their lives.
