Naomi Wolf

 “A cultural fixation on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty but an obsession about female obedience."  This American author, journalist, and feminist is the former political advisor to Al Gore and Bill Clinton.  Naomi's The Beauty Myth is a must read: her groundbreaking writing argues that women's insecurities are heightened by the viral mass media images that trap women into endless spiral of self-hatred and self-consciousness in their Herculean attempt to fulfill society's unattainable flawless beauty.
