A contrapel

Most of the women in our society say they wax because they want to, because they feel more attractive or for hygiene reasons. Instead, not waxing or showing publicly that you don't wax is usually a political decision. This book dismantles preconceived ideas about the supposed benefits of waxing and analyzes the social penalty that comes with showing body hair as it is born. With the data in hand, we will see that the choice is not free and that showing or not showing body hair is not a simple harmless option. What hair are we obliged to eradicate if we want to be seen as "real women"? What impact does complying with the social norms on waxing have on our physical and mental health? What if we can't? What if we don't want to?
