Writer/director/producer Justine Bateman examines the aggressive ways that society reacts to the aging of women's faces.

Face is a book of fictional vignettes that examines the fear and vestigial evolutionary habits that have caused women and men to cultivate the imagined reality that older women’s faces are unattractive, undesirable, and something to be "fixed".

Based on "older face" experiences of the author, Justine Bateman, and those of dozens of women and men she interviewed, the book presents the listener with the many root causes for society’s often negative attitudes toward women’s older faces. In doing so, Bateman rejects those ingrained assumptions about the necessity of fixing older women’s faces, suggesting that we move on from judging someone’s worth based on the condition of her face.

With impassioned prose and a laser-sharp eye, Bateman argues that a woman's confidence should grow as she ages, not be destroyed by society's misled attitude about that one square foot of skin.

This book is interesting, but I found that it got a little repetetive and did not really dug down into the deeper layers of this issue.

Interesting contemporary reflection

I liked that it acknowledged that this is happening. As a 52 year old I do worry about my ageing face. And body. And this is a bit like talking about the elephant in the room! Which I found helpful. I didn't like how negative most people of the stories were. They were a bit harsh and words were repeated in each sentance which enhanced this harshness. I think I don't have this experience of rejection from others as deeply living in Sussex, UK. Maybe it's worse in the USA! In fact I don't experience it at all, but I do experience my own self criticism and have/use various non invasive anti ageing and lifting treatments and products. Still an hour to go, but felt moved to write a review

Interesting to explore this issue from various points of view, but a bit depressing!
