Two-page statement discussing the complexities of fashion, beauty, and identity in the lives of women. "...the average woman spends about 2 hours a day, 1/8th of her waking hours in personal grooming. When you add the countless hours of shopping, looking through magazines, discussing clothes, and worrying, probably 1/4 of a woman's waking time is devoted to the complex business of making herself attractive...beauty is the capital a woman uses to cross class lines, to move up in the world. We must treat ourselves as a craftsman treats his raw material - annointing, coloring, plucking, waving, deodorizing, molding, restraining, concealing."
