After being told by a theatre company that at 5'5" and 96 lbs she was overweight, Heidi Guenther developed an eating disorder. She died at age 22 as a result of anorexia and bulimia (Boston Globe). Women go to such great extents to achieve beauty. Many women, such as Heidi Guenther have lost their lives striving to be picturesque. But, why are Americans so obsessed with the physical appearance of females? The obsession with physical appearance has consumed most of America through advertisements showing women how they should look. It has changed the role women play in society and how they are viewed. This fixated need for women to be physically attractive has brought forth a fascination with different ways to reach ideal beauty.
