The Changing Face of Beauty by Madge Garland

From time immemorial one of the most exciting and provocative inspirations of the human race has been the beauty of woman – her face and her body. Through the ages poet, artist, soldier, thief, all have haunted the shrine of Beauty, seeking not only stimulation but physical and spiritual fulfilment. Beauty of woman has been one of the vital forces in the history of man. Beauty has been responsible for many of the loftiest expressions of man’s imagination. Because of Beauty cities have been built – and razed; and empires have been created – and destroyed.
