From p285 of "The Beauty Myth" by Naomi Wolf:
"And we will learn that what is good about "beauty" - the promise of confidence, sexuality, and the self-regard of a healthy individual - are actually qualities that have nothing to do with "beauty" specifically, but are deserved by and, as the myth is dismantled, available to us all by right of femaleness. When we separate "beauty" from sexuality, when we celebrate the individuality of our features and characteristics, women will have access to a pleasure in our bodies that unites us rather than divides us."
