520 "Face is a book of fictional vignettes that examines the
fear and vestigial evolutionary habits that have caused
women and men to cultivate the imagined reality that older
women's faces are unattractive, undesirable, and something
to be "fixed." Based on "older face" experiences of the
author, Justine Bateman, and those of dozens of women and
men she interviewed, the book presents the reader with the
many root causes for society's often negative attitudes
toward women's older faces. In doing so, Bateman rejects
those ingrained assumptions about the necessity of fixing
older women's faces, suggesting that we move on from
judging someone's worth based on the condition of her
face. With impassioned prose and a laser-sharp eye,
Bateman argues that a woman's confidence should grow as
she ages, not be destroyed by society's misled attitude
about that one square foot of skin."--Amazon
