Acerca de esta escucha

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.

An Important, Beautiful Book

This book is one of the most impressive—and Ms. Bateman’s performance one of the most moving—I’ve ever heard on Audible. It lays bare the cultural and moral poverty that has created wealth for innumerable plastic surgeons and other so-called aestheticians who now so matter-of-factly lure women away from their true beauty and plunge them into an anxious pursuit of a superficial, elusive, unsatisfying, and even un-human “look.” And I need to say that the heart of this message helped me too since men are hardly immune from social pressure to look a certain way if we want our lives to add up to anything anyone will ever notice. I loved every moment I spent listening to this book, and I am certain you will too.

Well done!

Bateman gives an honest and raw look into the pressure on women to avoid showing the earned lines and wrinkled of a life lived.

I SO NEEDED THIS BOOK!

I loved your 'Fame' book. I made my living for years with YouTube videos and had to leave it eventually because it made me crazy. 'Face' speaks to me even more strongly. I had to stop listening a few times and come back weeks later because I couldn't take or process the emotions I was experiencing. I loved my granny's beautiful soft skin as a child, I want to be like her. I always wanted to be like her. Your book helped me not feel shame about wanting to age to such a lovely human being instead of staying young and inexperienced. Thank you Justine.

Worth a Listen!

It really makes you think about how much importance is put on ‘how young we look’. Society wants youth, but what about a life well lived? Wisdom and knowledge? Thanks Justine for enlightening me! I am proud of my age, and now I will be proud of my face!

Breathtaking

Loved this collection of stories, and the raw, honest way they were delivered by Justine Batemen. So relatable, and inspiring. Highly recommend for any woman, of any age, but most especially those confronting middle life…thank you Justine!

A sigh of relief and gratitude

This book was really good! I love that it gave me the permission to be my unaltered self. I love the fact that the author embraces her aging, and looks at it in a positive light! I am very good read for any young woman or older woman, who thinks that they need to change themselves to meet society’s demands.

I own a med spa

I felt like this was an absolutely necessary book to read for someone in my industry. Beautiful work, Justine. Although I encourage women to change things about themselves that they are not happy with, I also encourage women that changing how they feel is a solution too. I love the services we offer, and when accessed from a healthy mindset I know they change lives for the better, but that’s because the world we live in doesn’t allow us to live fully otherwise. I loved her comparison to aesthetics being similar to other cultures forms of beauty mutilation (long neck ladies of Thailand, foot binding in China). This was a thought provoking book that helps guide our culture a step in the right direction, which is valuing people at all stages of their life. Basing someone’s worth on their age is not necessary anymore because resources are abundant and people’s mind are more valuable now than ever. It was an easy listen. Engaging. Witty. Thank you!
