"A woman-loving definition of beauty supplants desperation with play, narcissism with self-love, dismemberment with wholeness, absence with presence, stillness with animation. It admits radiance: light coming out of the face and the body, rather than a spotlight on the body, dimming the self. It is sexual, various, and surprising. We will be able to see it in others and not be frightened, and able at last to see it in ourselves".

Excelente leitura, ela traz as origens do mito da beleza, a quem ele serve e como nós, mulheres, perpetuamos o mito sendo objeto deste. Impactante, recomendo!!!
