Some
prominent Non Muslims authors and authoress have written books that
prove Islamic view points. It all depends upon us how we squeeze useful
information from them and serve it in our Da'wah recipe. The Beauty Myth
by Naomi Wolf is among them.Reading the book I discovered the ugly face
of the modern liberated Western women. The authoress is an American
Jewess and currently she has written another great book but not of this
level.
The Beauty Myth was ranked as the 25th best book
of the last century. If you read it you will wonder why it didn't make
it among the first top ten.
The Beauty Myth uncovers the
fact that the working women in the West are not an issue to be proud but
a shame and a grave concern. The authoress Naomi Wolf argues " 45% of
the working women in the US are single, divorced, widowed or separated
and are sole economic support of their children......A red book survey
found that 88% of their respondents had experienced some sort of sexual
harassment at work..... the working woman in the west has to maintain
her good looks in spite of her age as beauty is a form of currency, her
looks are her fortune ..... a former editor of VOGUE spends nearly 60
thousand $US to maintain her looks!
The Beauty Myth is a
red book for the growing up girls as well as for the grown up women
who refuse to grow up and strive to prevent aging. Convincing arguments,
shocking statistics, and deep investigating stories make this book
worth for teachers, social workers, woman's right activists,
counselors as well as institutions.
A book that every
mother should gift to her daughter when she enters her teen as the
authoress rightly discovers that ...girls as young as 9 years old are
into dieting and self hatred that has developed due to the myth of
looking good at any cost.
There are some unbelievable
statistics which may be required to be upgraded today. Here are a few of
them ....UK has 3.5 Million anorexics,95% of British women suffer from
eating disorders... the diet industry is $35 billion ...... for every
one film released in Hollywood there are five Pornographic films
released... Pornography is the main stream media.
I
earnestly insist that this book should be a syllabus in many schools
,especially in the Muslim Institutes and also a part of your household
library too . I am not getting extreme. Inshallah this book will lift
your Beauty IQ. Order your copy, read it, digest it and display its
contents in your discussion with friends who are aggressively liberal
oriented and let me have your feed back .
