Naomi Wolf Knihy

Kniha Mýtus krásy Naomi Wolfovej, americkej poetky, kritičky a feministickej teoretičky je celkom ojedinelou výpoveďou o niektorých stránkach súčasného spôsobu života. V centre autorkinej pozornosti stoja otázky o prirodzenosti či konštrukcii ideálu krásy, o spútavajúcom a manipulujúcom pôsobení mýtu krásy na ženy, na spôsoby ich sebareflexie, sebaprežívania a sebarealizácie v spoločnosti, ktorá - paradoxne - ako najvyššiu hodnotu uctieva individuálnu slobodu. Je to výpoveď vo viacerých ohľadoch šokujúca, jednak novosťou témy i pohľadu na ňu, jednak tým, ako nemilosrdne obnažuje odvrátenú tvár spoločnosti, v ktorej vidia mnohí model civilizačného vývoja aj pre ostatné časti sveta. Takáto výpoveď sa nemohla zrodiť z inej ako z feministickej perspektívy, dodajme, že z perspektívy vlastnej istej fáze feminizmu, ktorá sa označuje ako jeho tretia vlna.
