The idea that an individual has the power to remake himself or herself is part of our culture’s Enlightenment philosophy: Everyone is entitled to pursue his or her own happiness, and self-transformation is regarded as an effective way of achieving it. The power of self-transformation can obviously be liberating, but it can also unleash competitiveness. If one woman can make herself beautiful, regardless of her natural attributes, then there really is no excuse for other women to remain plain Janes. They had better transform themselves, too; otherwise, they will get left behind.
