Women: Body Image and Self-Esteem

by Mary-Lane Kamberg

Overview

Females in modern society are often bombarded with images and ideas that represent an unattainable and sometimes unhealthy vision of beauty. Many suffer from a low self-image because of it. Some women resort to cosmetic surgery and extreme weight loss. Readers take a look at the unhealthy world of images in the media and how they affect women and girls. The narrative provides guidance on making healthier choices and attaining self-acceptance.
