The Whole Woman

Summary: What it Feels Like (To a Woman)
Review: Young women who live in the midst of a culture based in artificially manipulated beauty and warped ideas of women should be given this book upon entering adolescence. This book details the horrors of surgical alteration and acts as a warning that women must combat the unnatural and unfair expectations of men. Through concise and often humorous commentary, Greer gives many aspects of a man-driven culture a good tongue-lashing and inspires women to turn on their aggressors to tell them that no woman deserves the persecution of a male-imposed perfectionism. I would highly recommend this book to any woman who found that upon entering the adult world, life was not quite the shining castle and the prince on the white horse she thought it would be.
