About the Book
What do you see when you look in the mirror? Those under-eye circles that have plagued you since the kids came along? A strand of wayward hair that needs to be tucked into place? Or do you find yourself lingering in the mirror, looking into your own eyes and witnessing the sameness, or the transformation, that the years have brought on?

In About Face, twenty-five women write about the simple yet radical act of looking—really looking—in the mirror. In essays that reveal truths about the self in the world and which examine the societal prism through which we view—and judge—each other, the contributors to this collection take the cultural conversation about beauty to a deeper level.

About Face takes readers on a journey of the interior, into the mirrors and minds of its writers. Some questions they address include: What's the relationship between your physical self and your "true" self? What do or don't you like about the way you look? Do you feel that your face has given or denied you access to one kind of life or another?

Looking in the mirror without turning away, without flinching or making excuses or posing, and then talking about it honestly, is a radical act. Women are, after all, aware of the face we show to the world, whether we consciously admit it or not.

Contributors include Kathryn Harrison, Jennifer Baumgardner, Patricia Chao, Catherine Texier, Meredith Maran, Louise DeSalvo, Alice Elliott Dark, Marina Budhos, Kamy Wicoff, Sheila Kohler, Manijeh Nasrabadi and Kym Ragusa.
