Features: Why does the Evil Queen insist on killing Snow White? Is it because Snow White reminds her of the king's former wife? No! Is it because the queen covets the seven dwarfs' house? No! The answer is in the book—perhaps you may not be naturally beautiful, but you always know how to work hard to transform yourself, turning a crow or a sparrow into a phoenix; even if your talent is too poor and there is no hope of becoming a beauty, at least you know who to envy. In the early 20th century, a woman's proper profession was to be a lady. To achieve beauty, women demonstrated admirable courage and perseverance. In the 1920s, women took pride in being slender and pure, like Mulan in the army, cutting their long hair to shoulder length and keeping their clothes' front and back perfectly flat. In the 1930s, the illusory glamorous woman comforted the soldiers' loneliness, promising them in those desperate years that when they returned home in victory, there would be a warm embrace and sexy red lips waiting for them! In the 1950s, everything revolved around one thing—sex! Women designed every detail of their outfits, always mindful of whether men's eyes were burning with desire. In the 1960s, beauty didn't have to mean being thin, but it had to be without flesh. To prove their slimness, women cut their skirts to the length of their underwear. In the 1970s, some women seduced men, some hated men, and some forgot that there were even men in the world. In the 1980s, if a woman was smart, earned tens of thousands a month, brave, decisive, and calm enough not to scream at a mouse, why would she need a man? In the 1990s, this century's greatest trend reversal—beauty didn't matter; what mattered was being cool.
