Today’s post will be about the Zime called “Beauty Papers.” This Zine specifically caught my eye for its use of imagery throughout the pages. The cover reflects the pages almost perfectly. The newspaper headline “WOMAN PAGES SPARK RIOT” is used while the woman who holds it is in lingerie and a wedding veil—giving the sense of standing up against the classic stereotypes of womanhood. Throughout the pages, the photographer plays with the stereotypes of women and how they are perceived throughout society. As the world changes and evolves, we see more content that uses the ideologies of women, twists them, and puts women in control of what they do and what statements they say. Overall, this Zine is impressive, and I suggest you find it yourself. It is a great tabletop book to catch people and start a much-needed conversation.
