This was really funny! I keep recommending it to my friends. It's an interesting conversation starter / topic.

Very good book (essay?) rec to me by my sister. Funny, interesting and comforting too. Provides a unique perspective on female grooming I think lots of women should read this book. Maybe all women...

Bless her for writing this. It was so good to read about someone struggling with body hair issues. I do have PCOS and there is no cure and the treatments to help my hormonal imbalances thus far (several years) have not helped my hair problem. I struggle with feeling like "who gives a crap?" And "what should I care what people think of my face hair?" But still being completely unable to face.. having that much hair on my face when in public. She doesn't have a quick answer, but sometimes it's just good to know you're not alone.

Not really what I expected, but then what does one expect from a book about facial hair?!

I had been wanting to read this story for a long while. It had been staring at me in my amazon wish list for so long that I decided to finally purchase it and give it a try. I'm so happy I did! What a funny, true account of hair. As women, we are expected to conform in certain ways even if our beauty does not fit the narrow definition provided to us. It is so silly to be so extremely paranoid about our hair, and then on top of that, to be so judgmental of other people's hair! Everyone has hair! Some have more than others, but that is true when speaking of all characteristics, right? I just loved this story and I think it has a lot to offer. Give it a try!

I laughed so hard I was crying. A short story I think every woman could relate to. Because most, if not all of us women, have beauty routines that drive us nuts. Hair, being at the top of the list for most of us. The one we women have the biggest battle with and one we all hate. No woman is ever happily skipping off to the shower to shave her legs. So I was thrilled to finally have a woman take a stand and admit to the struggles and the mental craziness it can cause a woman. Thank Mara Altman, thank you for making me laugh and not feel so crazy.

High-larious. Laughed out loud. Snorted all as my husband looked at me like I was a crazy person. I kept thinking that Mara was in my head...writing down my own perils of being a wookie in a hairless-obsessed society.

Een kort en grappig boek over lichaamsbeharing. Yup. Die moeten er ook zijn.
