A Defense Of Cosmetics (1922) - Max Beerbohm - Bog

""A Defense of Cosmetics"" is a book written by Max Beerbohm and first published in 1922. In this book, Beerbohm argues in favor of the use of cosmetics by women and refutes the popular notion that cosmetics are superficial and vain. He argues that cosmetics are a form of art and a means of self-expression and self-care. Beerbohm also discusses the history of cosmetics and the various cultural and social factors that have influenced their use. He addresses common criticisms of cosmetics, such as their potential harm to health and the idea that they are a form of deception, and counters them with his own arguments. The book is written in a witty and engaging style and offers a unique perspective on a topic that is still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
