With over 2.5 million books sold in Brazil, Augusto Cury portrays in this work the daily lives of women who suffer in silence the consequences of a cruel reality of the modern world: the dictatorship of beauty. Everywhere we look, through advertising, media, music, and cinema, we see the tremendous pressure on today's women to be thinner, more beautiful, more elegant, and more 'produced'. Drawing on his vast experience as a psychiatrist and researcher, Dr. Cury issues a wake-up call against this form of oppression that has been leaving women, adolescents, and even children sad, frustrated, and ill. Narrated as a novel, this book addresses a pressing contemporary issue, allowing the reader to immediately identify with the characters and their struggle for a fuller life.
