The Beauty Myth for the digital age: a searing account of what it takes to exist as a woman in a world obsessed by image.
A generation defining account of womanhood, beauty standards and digital culture in the modern age.
In Pixel Flesh, Ellen Atlanta holds a mirror up to our modern beauty ideal and the harm it is doing to women all around the world. Weaving in her own personal story with those of other women, she reconfigures our obsession with the cult of beauty and explores the realities of living in a digitally obsessed world where the pressure to present yourself both virtually and in person is all-consuming.
Providing an eye-opening account of the pressures women face in a world obsessed by image, Pixel Flesh unmasks the absurdities of the dystopia we find ourselves living in. Both a rallying cry and a refusal to suffer in silence, this is the defining book on what it feels like to exist as a woman today.
