Abstract
Selling Beauty offers the reader a well-researched analysis of the changes in the consumption, the production and the appreciation of cosmetic products in France during the period 1750-1830. Morag Martin links these changes successfully with an emerging advertising industry, changing trends in fashion, a growing professionalization of the medical world, and a shift in gender roles and the perceptions of gender. Selling Beauty therefore combines several strands of exciting historiography and offers a delicate balance between new insights and incorporating these new insights within existing interpretations.
