(4) YA Hot Issues series. This overview of beauty standards for women is part social history, part self-help book, and part scold (it's clear where the author stands on cosmetic surgery, etc.). The sections on eating disorders and media culpability don't break new ground, but passages contrasting different cultures' beauty norms are fascinating and persuasive. Photos of stylish women through the ages accompany the text. Bib., ind.
