Harmful cultural practices in the west
Should western beauty practices, ranging from lipstick to labiaplasty, be
included within the United Nations' understanding of harmful traditional/
cultural practices? By examining the role of common beauty practices in
damaging the health of women, creating sexual difference, and enforcing
female deference, this book argues that they should.
