What is this book about?
An unmissable essay from Emma Dabiri, Sunday Times bestselling author of Don’t Touch My Hair and What White People Can Do Next
For too long, beauty has been entangled in the forces of patriarchy and objectification, shame, control, competition and consumerism. We need to find a way to do beauty differently.
This radical, deeply personal and empowering essay points to ways we can all embrace our unruly beauty and enjoy our magnificent, disobedient bodies.
“A must-read … Dabiri writes with empowering enthusiasm on alternatives to the way we look at beauty, and encourages us to rebel against current beauty standards” Psychologies
