Women are privileging an external view of their bodies over their own internal, first-person perspective. It's as if we, as women, exist outside of ourselves – as if our bodies can be understood only through someone else's eyes.

Introduction
Definitions of beauty change over time and vary across cultures, but the idea that women's worth and social status depend on their physical appearance never seems to go away.
No matter who we are, where we come from, or what we're capable of, girls and women are constantly being observed and appraised based on our looks.
Lindsay and Lexie Kite are academics, authors, and the founders of Beauty Redefined, a non-profit organization dedicated to body image research and awareness.
Based on the Kites' PhD research and years of working with girls and women on body image resilience, their 2021 book, More Than a Body, explores what causes self-objectification and how we can work toward a healthier relationship with our bodies.
