Download or read book The Search for the Beautiful Woman written by Cho Kyo and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While a slender body is a prerequisite for beauty today, plump women were considered ideal in Tang Dynasty China and Heian-period Japan. Starting around the Southern Song period in China, bound feet symbolized the attractiveness of women. But in Japan, shaved eyebrows and blackened teeth long were markers of loveliness. For centuries, Japanese culture was profoundly shaped by China, but in complex ways that are only now becoming apparent. In this first full comparative history of the subject, Cho Kyo explores changing standards of feminine beauty in China and Japan over the past two millennia. Drawing on a rich array of literary and artistic sources gathered over a decade of research, he considers which Chinese representations were rejected or accepted and transformed in Japan. He then traces the introduction of Western aesthetics into Japan starting in the Meiji era, leading to slowly developing but radical changes in representations of beauty. Through fiction, poetry, art, advertisements, and photographs, the author vividly demonstrates how criteria of beauty differ greatly by era and culture and how aesthetic sense changed in the course of extended cultural transformations that were influenced by both China and the West.

Download or read book The Beauty Myth written by Naomi Wolf and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling classic that redefined our view of the relationship between beauty and female identity. In today's world, women have more power, legal recognition, and professional success than ever before. Alongside the evident progress of the women's movement, however, writer and journalist Naomi Wolf is troubled by a different kind of social control, which, she argues, may prove just as restrictive as the traditional image of homemaker and wife. It's the beauty myth, an obsession with physical perfection that traps the modern woman in an endless spiral of hope, self-consciousness, and self-hatred as she tries to fulfill society's impossible definition of "the flawless beauty."

Download or read book Painful Beauty written by Megan A. Smetzer and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2021-07-27 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 150 years, Tlingit women artists have beaded colorful, intricately beautiful designs on moccasins, dolls, octopus bags, tunics, and other garments. Painful Beauty suggests that at a time when Indigenous cultural practices were actively being repressed, beading supported cultural continuity, demonstrating Tlingit women’s resilience, strength, and power. Beadwork served many uses, from the ceremonial to the economic, as women created beaded pieces for community use and to sell to tourists. Like other Tlingit art, beadwork reflects rich artistic visions with deep connections to the environment, clan histories, and Tlingit worldviews. Contemporary Tlingit artists Alison Bremner, Chloe French, Shgen Doo Tan George, Lily Hudson Hope, Tanis S’eiltin, and Larry McNeil foreground the significance of historical beading practices in their diverse, boundary-pushing artworks. Working with museum collection materials, photographs, archives, and interviews with artists and elders, Megan Smetzer reframes this often overlooked artform as a site of historical negotiations and contemporary inspirations. She shows how beading gave Tlingit women the freedom to innovate aesthetically, assert their clan crests and identities, support tribal sovereignty, and pass on cultural knowledge. Painful Beauty is the first dedicated study of Tlingit beadwork and contributes to the expanding literature addressing women’s artistic expressions on the Northwest Coast.

Download or read book The True Essence of a Woman s Beauty written by Yvette Carbone and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mrs. Yvette Carbone is a Licensed Ordained Minister and Christian counselor in private practice. She is Vice President of Administration for Bethlehem Aglow in Pennsylvania. She also organizes Bible studies that encourage woman's beauty to reflect the glory and beauty of God. The Author has a strong passion to see the glory and beauty of God reflected in women. A study of Queen Esther demonstrates that her beauty was so captivating that a King could not resist her charm. Esther had to take time to prepare herself with beauty products before appearing in the King's presence. In the same paradigm, women are being prepared holistically to meet the King of Kings as His bride, the church. Women are the epitome of beauty. If they lose that beauty, the earth axis will not rotate anymore. Can you imagine a world without beautiful women? It is unfortunate that most women, especially in the church, see the pursuit of beauty as vanity. God is beautiful and He requires His bride to demonstrate her inner and outer beauty in a healthy balanced way.
