Yes, The Beauty Myth had a huge influence on me. I read it when I was 18 or 19. I’m still very into fashion and beauty but that book really opened up feminism for me and helped me understand the structural nature of what women are up against. It led me into a lot more feminist reading I might not have otherwise done. I think because beauty advertising etc felt like it was everywhere even then in the early 90s, and like all girls I grew up with it, I understood the context of the book, whereas other feminist literature seemed much harder to identify with.
