Filmmaker and author Justine Bateman examines the aggressive ways that society reacts to the aging of women’s faces in her book Face: One Square Foot of SkinDrawing from her own experiences and interviews with nearly 50 women, Bateman recounts their stories through fictional vignettes to explore what it is that causes society to view women’s aging faces as undesirable and invisible. She explores ageism and rejects the assumption that faces need fixing in the first place, suggesting that it’s high time to move on from judging people’s worth based on the appearance of their face.
