The author stated that this problem would exist until women continue under-estimate themselves, trying to match artificial standards, created by popular women magazines and television (42). To be successful, women should spend the huge amount of money on cosmetics, skin-care products, clothes, and even plastic surgery (52-53). According to Wolf, women reach the particular age and then just disappear from such job positions as TV commentator, stewardess, waitress, and others (35). Thus, an employer could refuse to hire a woman or even fire her, relying on his notion of beauty (33). Wolf pointed out that a lot of jobs are inapproachable for women, who are not beautiful, but, actually, there are no existing beauty standards. Moreover, the higher her holding post, the stricter demands to her appearance, figure, and style of clothes. According to the author’s point of view, confirmed by the statistics, literature and evidence analysis, to get a job woman must match to the particular standards of the beauty. In the chapter Work, Wolf described current situation with the dependence of women’s employment on their appearance.
