Empowerment through acquisition of beauty knowledge and skills would likely be
criticized as facile by liberal feminists. Yet, this kind of empowerment indexes a deeper
problem which, ironically, it shares with the liberal tradition itself. Just as literacy and
education of women, following the liberal perspective, is limited in that it fits women (and
minorities) into main/malestream society in accordance to yardsticks of achievement set by
men, instead of radically restructuring the existing social order, so, too, the achievement of
beauty expertise is tutelage in patriarchal norms.
