In this unsparing and witty look at our cultural obsession with blonde, Natalia Ilyin shows us that our apparently modern fixation has truly primeval roots. She cites ancient myths, Hollywood iconography and advertising. When a woman decides to go blonde she is deciding to stand for something, but what? The author traces the power of the blonde to its primeval goddess origins and offers explanations of they have evolved into the blondes we know today. The text highlights cultural criticism with personal experience to reveal why the allure of being a blonde has crossed the boundaries of ethnicity, economics and age.
