How Beauty Shapes Women’s Lives
Guest: Autumn Whitefield-Madrano, Author of “Face Value: The Hidden Ways Beauty Shapes Women’s Lives,” creator of The Beheld

Autumn Whitefield-Madrano offers plenty of criticism for the way unrealistic ideas about appearance shape us. But she also says we can’t blame it all on Maybelline and MAC.
