In Face Value , Autumn Whitefield-Madrano gets beyond clichés and polemics to explore the complex ways in which the desire for beauty actually plays out in women's lives. She gracefully weaves together scholarly research, the experiences of a diverse array of women, and insights from her own life to reveal new and surprising patterns. Engaging, thought-provoking, bold, and true, Face Value deserves to become an instant classic., In Face Value , Autumn Whitefield-Madrand perceptively interrogates the (often unearned) power that is beauty. In doing so reveals how ambivalent women are about this power even as it tangles with every element of self and community., Beauty may be a $58.3 billion industry, but F ace Value provides an antidote to the popular idea that women are beauty's mindless victims. Drawing upon an arsenal of science, interviews, and a close examination of her own experiences, Autumn Whitefield-Madrano shows that beauty is neither an apolitical plaything nor women's all-powerful bête noire. Fresh, compassionate, and funny, Face Value will make you rethink your own relationship with beauty., "Using personal interviews and scientific studies, the book is informative, intriguing, and relevant." --Bustle, A fascinating and fun look into the world of beauty and the major role it plays in our daily lives., To anyone who has ever fallen down the intellectual rabbit hole of contemporary beauty culture, let Autumn Whitefield-Madrano be your tour-guide through its existential wonderland. With meticulous research, witty prose, and compelling personal narrative, Face Value offers readers the trifecta of superb nonfiction. A must read!, Autumn Whitefield-Madrano explores how our looks affect our lives, including in light of today's technology. Her work weaves together real-life anecdotes and in-depth research, creating an interesting cultural analysis., Nuances [are] skillfully navigated as the book outlines the history, theory, and expert feminist voices who have been shaping the female view of self for generations. This is a valuable addition to contemporary feminist writing, providing much-needed perspective to a pervasive issue that young women and staunch feminists will glean much from.... Ideal for readers new to the subject but also great for anyone interested in social science and history.

Synopsis
A thought-provoking examination of how we think and talk about beauty today--and the unexpected and often positive ways that beauty shapes our lives. For decades, we've discussed our insecurities in the face of idealized, retouched, impossibly perfect images. We've worried primping and preening are a distraction and a trap. But have we focused too much on beauty's negative influence? In Face Value , journalist Autumn Whitefield-Madrano thoughtfully examines the relationship between appearance and science, social media, sex, friendship, language, and advertising to show how beauty actually affects us day to day. Through meticulous research and interviews with dozens of women across all walks of life, she reveals surprising findings, like that wearing makeup can actually relax you, that you can convince people you're better looking just by tweaking your personality, and the ways beauty can be a powerful tool of connection among women. Equal parts social commentary, cultural analysis, careful investigation, and powerful personal anecdotes, Face Value is provocative and empowering--and a great conversation starter for women everywhere.

    Ordered these shorts for my son and he was so excited to receive them. Packaging was fine and no damage at all. Shipping was as he stated so we were expecting it when we got it. The shorts are just what the pictures described. My son absolutely loves this and for the cost… he will be getting more. Would buy again from seller
