Diva virtual : Cómo un mundo obsesionado con la imagen ha distorsionado el cuerpo de las mujeres (y qué podemos hacer para cambiarlo)

Anyone on social media has a clear idea of ​​what constitutes a beautiful woman today: wrinkle-free skin, full lips, and cat-like eyes. Curvy but not fat; slender yet voluptuous. Few women in the real world actually look like this, so this unattainable standard serves as a daily reminder of all our perceived shortcomings. The global market has led us to believe that to be worthy, we must invest—financially, physically, or emotionally—in moving closer to an "empowering" ideal. Filters, shapewear, fillers... The ways to craft a version of oneself as close as possible to that ideal—for the whole world to see (and "like")—are now infinite and easily accessible. But can something truly be empowering if it profits from your insecurities? Ellen Atlanta exposes the absurdities of the dystopian present we inhabit. Weaving together her own personal story with those of other women, this book explores the realities of living in a world where the pressure to appear perfect has colonized every last corner of our lives.
