Were you the pretty one in the family? Or did you feel invisible and have to make yourself up? Like Nancy Friday, many of the most successful people of our age were driven by their childhood invisibility to create lives of brilliance and accomplishment.
Through her life story and sparkling commentary on subjects ranging from fairy tales to today's fashion catwalks, from feminist male-bashing to the emergence of the male beauty object, Nancy Friday once again offers a revolutionary new book - an exploration of the role of looks in the relationships between and within the sexes.
