Women on Top

<div>Reflections on how physical appearance, and beliefs about it, affect women&rsquo;s lives from a #1 bestselling author who&rsquo;s &ldquo;enormously fun to read&rdquo; (The New York Times). Beauty and appearance play a pervasive role in our culture. Here, the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the groundbreaking, controversial bestseller My Secret Garden delves into beauty&#39;s influence on popular media and the psyche of modern women. Combining in-depth cultural analysis with personal anecdotes, sexology, and individual case studies, Nancy Friday explores the dissatisfaction women feel about their bodies&mdash;and how it affects their sexual freedom.
