(1993) Recent trends in theoretical psychology, Dordrecht, Springer.
The paper takes the position that the rhetoric of beauty to which Western woman is constantly subject is not "nature" but "ideology". It identifies social psychological research as uncritically employing the assumption that beauty is an asset and ugliness is a stigma. Instead it arguesusing sociological and psychoanalytic concepts-that beauty is a manufactured masquerade that hides the stigma of ugliness.
