À propos de ce produit
Product Information
From acclaimed novelist and cultural historian Ruth Brandon comes a captivating dual biography of the legendary founders of the cosmetics industry, Helena Rubinstein and Eugène Schueller, creator of L'Oréal. Brandon's gripping and sometimes disturbing story of gender, power, and politics stretches back from the darkest days of World War II, to the emergence of the modern fashion and makeup industries, with magazines such as Vogue and Cosmopolitan and game-changing product lines such as Avon and Mary Kay. Ugly Beauty resonates as well with its implications for modern culture, as we enter an era when haute couture and cosmetology exert an ever more powerful influence upon society at large.

Pretty on the outside, as Brandon shows us, does not necessarily mean pretty on the inside., An incisive history of cosmetics tycoon Helena Rubinstein and Eugene Schueller, the founder of L'Oreal., "Ruth Brandon is that rarest of historians who make a sophisticated and surprising argument and tell a great yarn at the same time." -- Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker "The book is loaded with juicy details about Schueller and Rubenstein...But Brandon's bigger argument is that the modern beauty industry can be explained by the politics and practices of these two originally divergent companies.

Ruth Brandon tells a fascinating story about the price of smoothing over history's still-raw blemishes." -- Tilar J. Mazzeo, author of The Widow Clicquot and The Secret of Chanel No. 5 "A deep, probing account...This engaging book should appeal not only to beauty enthusiasts but also to students of corporate histories who will relish the compelling aspects of the unlikely crossing of paths of two hugely successful entrepreneurs." -- Library Journal "The life of Rubinstein is an astounding tale of invention and sheer drive." -- Kirkus Reviews "Required Reading" -- New York Post "An incisive history of cosmetics tycoon Helena Rubinstein and Eugene Schueller, the founder of L'Oreal." -- Bloomberg News "Brandon's book is most successful when she writes about the yin and yang of her two protagonists...definitely worth reading." -- Sunday Times (London), Equal parts cultural history and journalistic expos, Ugly Beauty is compulsively readable and intentionally disturbing.
