ABSTRACT
We are, perhaps, only too familiar with what we recognize on the crowded news-stand as a typical Woman cover.1 Always a white woman’s face: young but somehow ageless; skin smooth and plastic as a doll; pretty – though not beautiful as in Vogue; smiling widely – having fun perhaps; red, shiny lips framing the perfection of white-toothpaste-ad teeth; clear eyes gazing at you, addressing you intimately.2
