Reviews

<p> Part history, part cultural/economic analysis, it explains better than anything else I've read what made American society so vulnerable to the seduction of the knife and the tyranny of visual conformity. As the idea of the perfect, ageless body becomes ever more dominant in our culture, it's important that we -- especially women -- understand how we've got ourselves into this mess. Venus Envy offers readable, perceptive answers. -- Sarah Dunant, The Times of London
