520 1 |a "Society has always been fixated on the looks of celebrities, but how we look has deep ramifications for ordinary people, too. In this book, Bonnie Berry explains how social inequality pertains to prejudice and discrimination against individuals based on their physical appearance. This form of inequality overlaps with other, better-known forms of inequality such as those that result from sexism, racism, ageism, and homophobia. Social inequality regarding looks is notable in a number of settings: work, medical treatment, romance, and marriage, to mention a few. It is experienced as limitations on access to social power. Berry discusses the pressures to be attractive and the methods by which we strive to alter our appearance through plastic surgery, cosmetics, and the like."--BOOK JACKET
